Karen Hardy is the lead on The JOBS Project GATESHEAD, a Barnardo’s & Amazon project, working together to support care leavers and NEET people (aged 18-29) into employment.

The project is 6 – 8 weeks and uses a blended learning approach where young people have face to face sessions as well as online ‘working from home’ weeks. It is a learner led programme that focusses on young people learning about lifestyle, routine, budgeting, and the benefits of working.

This project will develop confidence and skills in candidates and includes:

  • Travel and food expenses reimbursed (local travel prices considered)
  • Guaranteed interview with Amazon (candidate must complete the ten weeks)
  • 1-to-1 mentoring
  • Exploration of target and goals setting skills
  • Effective employability workshops
  • Confidence building workshops tailored to the group needs
