Karen Hardy is the lead on The JOBS Project GATESHEAD, a Barnardo’s & Amazon project, working together to support care leavers and NEET (Not in Education, Employment or TRaining)  people (aged 18-29) into employment.

The project is 6 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)
  • One-to-one mentoring
  • Exploration of target and goals setting skills
  • Effective employability workshops
  • Confidence building workshops tailored to the group needs
  • Finance and accommodation information
  • An Amazon site tour
  • Opportunities for peer work and development of team building skills

If there is any other information you need, please let me know.   To refer to me, please email me Name, DOB, phone number and email address of the candidate and I will also make sure to keep you in the loop as to where they are with regards to the application.  I look forward to hearing from you.
