UPDATE: Some of the restrictions on emailing have been lifted

We are pleased so say that we are now able to receive some external emails. Until we are completely confident that our servers are not at risk, external emails that include a link or an attachment will continue to be quarantined.  

Emails from us are not affected by the block that is in place, so you should still receive contact from us in this way, although it may take slightly longer than normal. We will let you know when these issues are resolved.

If you need us urgently, please call us.

Skills and jobs

Giving young people the right skills to get jobs.

Skills

Businesses and young people need the right opportunities and skills to create and keep jobs. Working with partners, Gloucestershire County Council wants to raise the level and range of skills available to young people.

Gloucestershire County Council has committed 1 million to youth employment as part of a wider package to stimulate the economy. The five priorities for youth employment are to:

  • Inspire young people early on in their school life to give them the ambition to take control of their future
  • Skills - Help young people develop the skills employers are looking for
  • Access Make sure young people and employers can access information & support they need via a portal or single gateway
  • Experience Make it easier for young people to get work experience
  • Share the good practice already taking in place schools and businesses

Say yes to youth employment and skills!

The YES Charter is a new incentive for schools which can support them to develop and deliver skills/employability sessions for their pupils.

  • Once schools have signed up to the YES Charter they will be given access to a range of support including the skills pod, which provides a stimulating and informal environment for pupils to engage with and develop their work related skills.
  • Schools across the county are pledging their commitments to the youth employment and skills charter. Find out more: Youth Employment & Skills booklet
