A charity is launching a scheme in Barnet to help young people who are not in education, employment or training.

Elevation Networks, a charity that seeks to develop the employment potential of young people, is in the process of launching its Barnet 360 programme.

This initiative will be aimed at people aged 18 to 24.

Using funding from the Big Society Innovation Bank, the scheme will provide leadership training, work experience and volunteering opportunities.

In a statement, Elevation Networks said: “The 360 initiative focuses on helping young people take control of their lives."

“Through the duration of the programme, we aim to break down barriers that may be preventing young people from getting employment and ultimately tackling youth unemployment statistics.”

The charity is looking for young people to join the programme.
