Inspire 2 Ignite CIC

Description

Inspire 2 Ignite (I2I) helps young people at risk of disengaging from education and employment build confidence and seize life-changing opportunities.

The number of young people not in education, employment or training in the UK has risen to 900,000. I2I bridges the gap between young people and jobs through work placements and wider support. Having worked with 8,000+ young people, they are ready to build on this momentum and launch their Young Person Ready Accreditation Pilot. This will help businesses adapt to the values of the next generation so they don’t miss out on new talent. However, they lack the resources to get going.

With our funding, I2I will hire a Community Engagement Officer to launch the accreditation, generating income and creating a model for youth-friendly workplaces that could be replicated nationally.
