Helping 18 to 24 year olds to a brighter future

Empowering Enterprise operated between 2017 and 2020 to support disadvantaged 18-24 year olds across Devon, Plymouth and Torbay. Each young person worked with a mentor to develop the skills they needed to face the challenges in their life and move on. For some that meant starting to look for work or finding employment, for others it was reconnecting with education or training.

WHAT TO DO NEXT

About us

Empowering Enterprise has been funded by the European Social Fund and The National Lottery Community Fund. It was actively supporting young people up until Summer 2020 when the project came to an end. Petroc’s partnership used the funding to deliver a unique project for 18 to 24 year olds who faced the biggest barriers to getting into work, education or training. Empowering Enterprise worked with over 650 of the most socially-excluded young people in Devon to equip them with skills for life and work giving them the confidence to find a path to a brighter future.
