YOUTH EMPLOYMENT SUPPORT

In conjunction with Durham County Council’s Durham Works programme, we help 16-24 year old NEETs into work.

Our advice and support is available to anyone in the East Durham area and is completely free of charge.

Our dedicated employment consultant, at our Novus Business Centres in Peterlee and Seaham, provides advice for young people who are Not in Employment Education or Training (NEETs).

If you live in County Durham, you’re aged between 16 and 24 and you’re not currently in work or at college or uni… we’ll make sure you get the best possible start.

We can advise on:

Where to look for jobs

How to write your CV

What to do in an interview

Your options:

Look for a job

Start an apprenticeship

Go on a training scheme

DurhamWorks is a European Social Funded, Youth Employment Initiative led by Durham County Council. Since early 2016, working in partnership with a range of organisations, DurhamWorks has worked with hundreds of young people and helped many of them into training, apprenticeships and employment.
