Career advice and employability skills project

Career Advice and Employability Skills Project (London based Programme due to funding restrictions)

Project Status Update

Thank you for visiting Open Doors Education and Training. Please note that due to temporary funding constraints, ODET is currently unable to offer educational provisions or student intake.

Our mission to support young people from marginalised and ethnic minority communities remains unchanged. The ODET team is actively seeking new commissioning and collaboration opportunities to restart our vital programmes.

If you are interested in funding our evidence-based digital education models, please get in touch with our team.

Quick facts

Age range: 15-25 years.

Criteria: flexible. We can offer up to 10 hours per student at times that suit the young person.

Equipment: participants must have access to their own smartphone or laptop to avail of the online sessions. Career advisors will work with the young people to develop a tailored Career Portfolio.

What is it?

Participants are matched with a professional online career advisor. All of our tutors are trained and DBS checked. Students log on to our easy-to-use online platform for a consultation and followed up with tailored advice and information according to student's needs in subsequent sessions.

Career advisors can also offer help with:

  • application forms
  • applying for apprenticeships
  • information on starting a business
  • CV writing
  • Help preparing for driver theory test
  • Getting a construction card
  • Applying for jobs
  • Interview skills
  • Further training and courses including our Functional Skills for NEET project

Support offered?

Yes! Our Education Officer will provide support from start to finish.

Why?

Young people from disadvantaged communities can struggle to gain employment, education or training opportunities. This project aims to provide young people with quality advice and tailored support to help unlock their potential.

Other projects

The ODET team is constantly looking to develop new and exciting programmes to further unlock the potential of people from ethnic minority backgrounds. If you are interested in a collaboration, contact us.
