Today I went to visit SMMT to discuss the partnerships
between Mayday Trust, Foyer Federation and various automotive companies. I was
excited to hear about what different manufacturers were doing with the young
people that had been working alongside them on their work readiness and employability
opportunity.
Various automotive manufacturers including Ford, Toyota, BMW
and Unipart Eberspacher have taken on groups of young people from Mayday Trust
and Foyer Federation to give them the opportunity to take part in a work
placement where they will gain work readiness and employability skills. The aim
of this is to get young people ready for work and provide them with a great bit
of experience to add to their CV and ultimately tackle youth unemployment.
I will be writing 4 short stories to give an outline of what
each company have been offering their candidates and how this has benefited
both the company and the young people. I also got the opportunity to interview
the interim CEO of SMMT and I hope to upload this soon too.
Enjoy :)
Fi :)
Can't wait to hear more!!!
