Helping 18 to 24 year olds
to a brighter future

Project Outcomes

PROJECT OUTCOMES

Throughout the life of the project evaluation partner Devon Communities Together have measured and documented our progress towards 4 key outcomes:
  • Young people have improved their employability, entrepreneurial and life skills
  • Support services are more visible and accessible to young people
  • Local communities and businesses are more cohesive and resilient
  • Project partners have increased their capacity to support young people

Our impact reports look not just at the positive changes Empowering Enterprise has made to individuals but also at the ways in which the project has enriched communities and forged links between support services across Devon, Plymouth and Torbay.

Results

Each young person works with a mentor to develop the skills they needed to face the challenges in their life and move on. For some that means starting to look for work or finding employment, for others it is reconnecting with education or training.

About us

Empowering Enterprise was funded by the European Social Fund and The National Lottery Community Fund. Petroc’s partnership used the funding to deliver a unique project for 18 to 24 year olds facing the biggest barriers to getting into work, education or training. Empowering Enterprise worked with over 1000 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.
