Islington Council is funding work placements for young people over summer and looking for businesses to take part.

The Your Choice program places 16-to-25-year-olds with employers for a few weeks to develop career experience and key employment skills, while businesses gain from having fresh, diverse input, and potentially developing the talent pool for their industry. The fully subsidised scheme means there is no cost to participating businesses. Organisations just need to commit to hosting a young person full or part-time for three to six weeks in July and August. For more information, email yourchoice@islington.gov.uk.
