The programme provides a chance to:
- Discover interests
- Meet new people
- Learn new skills
- Find a job
Introducing our Game Changer partners:
From supporting young people to find work and develop skills to helping start-ups and enterprises thrive, Real Ideas work to solve problems and create positive and lasting social change.
As lead partner Real Ideas have a team of navigators who provide 1-2-1 support to young people on the programme. 1-2-1 support could be linked to helping develop skills, increase confidence or find areas of interest.
Cornwall Marine Network is a non-for-profit company that is made up of some 300 marine-based companies in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
They will enable employers to increase interaction between young people and employers to create pathways to employment.
Creative Kernow is the umbrella organisation for nine projects that looks to support the production and promotion of the creative industries in Cornwall.
Creative Kernow offer the chance for participants to get creative in a range of ways – from singing to writing novels to fine art design.
The Eden Project, situation in Boldeva, Cornwall, is an impressive attraction that looks to connect people with the natural world. The attraction features an outside botanical garden which is home to many plants and wildlife native to Cornwall and the UK in general.
Eden’s calming location provides the perfect place to let go of some anxiety to help young people find their way to education, employment or training. Participants have developed a disused field into what is now a training garden, where there are polytunnels and vegetable patches which allow young people to learn horticulture skills.
