YOUTH WORKS
SHARING IN EDUCATION PROGRAMME |
Youth Works is an initiative developed by the Department of Education, with the International Fund for Ireland, and managed by the Youth Council for Northern Ireland (YCNI).
Youth Works has been designed specifically to use a Youth Work methodology to engage, on a cross community basis, young people aged 16 and 17 in the ‘Core NEET’ group and support them to gain recognised qualifications that will make a positive difference to their long term employment, education and training prospects.
Following the completion of a pilot programme in north Belfast a call for applications is now being issued for Delivery Agents to implement further Phases of the programme targeting young people from disadvantaged areas in the Belfast area (east, south & west), the Foyle/East Londonderry area, Newry/Armagh & Mourne area and the Upper Bann area. The appointment process will take the form of a call for applications from suitably experienced organisations or consortia which will be conducted by YCNI as the Managing Agent.
An application pack, including background on the Youth Works programme, an application form and full instructions to applicants is available to download, via email from info@ycni.org or by calling 028 9064 3882.
The closing date for the return of completed applications is Wednesday 6th June at 3pm. Applications should be returned in hard copy to the Youth Works Programme Manager, YCNI, Forestview, Purdy’s Lane, Belfast, BT8 7AR.
