What does the Digital Talent programme look like at London Youth?

Five London Youth members have been selected to deliver the Digital Talent 2.0 programme, from January 2024 to February 2025. 

The programmme aims to reach under-represented young people, with a particular focus on those who either identify themselves as being of Black, Bangladeshi or Pakistani heritage, or are from within the 30% most economically deprived areas (based on postcode and the National Index of Multiple Deprivation).  

London Youth will provide ongoing support, training opportunities and sector contacts to assist members in delivering the programme. 

In addition, the programme will also support the following outcomes for young people:

  • Increased knowledge of future jobs/future proof sectors
  • Improved access to job opportunities
  • Increased confidence in pursuing careers into sector of choice
  • Increased employability skills

Digital, Data and Tech Employability Network 

We’re launching a Digital, Data and Tech Employability Network for all London Youth members who want to develop their digital networks and their digital, data and tech offer for young people. If this is you, we’d like to invite you to join us! 

We will be sharing information on training courses, apprenticeship and internship openings, work experience, Insight days and other events and activities for young people and youth workers.  You will also be invited to networking events with other members with digital interest and expertise, and relevant employers who are keen to engage with young people. In some cases, we may be able to offer travel expenses for young people to enable them to take part in these activities. 

If you are interested and committed to developing your digital, data and tech offer for young people, please email our Employability inbox: employability@londonyouth.org
