Employability Resource Directory

Finding the right resource to develop remotely

At London Youth we want to support young Londoners in continuing their work on employability. We recognise the huge change that COVID-19 has made to all our daily lives – in particular a young person’s employment journey can feel like it has been put on pause without their say-so and with no control. Despite the current challenges, we firmly believe there are opportunities to work together with our community youth organisations and continue to offer young people the chance to press ahead with their employment journey.

To achieve this:

1. This page offers a directory of online resources and sessions that both community youth organisations and young people can access remotely.
2. Be kind to yourself: develop and work when you can but do not judge yourself if you don’t always have the motivation at this difficult time to focus on our future.

We’d also like to hear from any community youth organisation, youth worker or IAG pracititioner that is offering online activity sessions and showcase your great work. You can contact our Employability Team via Ella.Porter@londonyouth.org to discuss featuring your content.

JobShare – Masterclass Video

Filmed by volunteers from different industries. JobShare is a series of masterclass videos that share their career journeys. London Youth wants to connect young people with these stories from industry professionals to inspire their future careers and learn about a variety of sectors they may wish to progress in.
