- ELIMINATING NEET
-
Helping young people to find the employment, education or training opportunities that are right for them by giving young people the opportunity to create their own solutions to employment problems through starting something themselves. We will facilitate this support through a smart phone application that helps with ideas generation before turning the idea into a viable income generating business. It’s clear that young people are the solution to their own problems and with support they have the potential to innovate and come up with the next big business or idea.

- YourPosition
-
YourPosition enables young people to locate places that have current job positions available, these are sent as a notification alert on their mobile device. As soon as the user enters into a certain location, the app searches for vacancies over a certain mileage of radius from their current position. As well as sending vacancy alerts it also rates them in urgency or importance, for example it would be of a bigger brighter alert if the application date was near or after setting up the app with your dream job specification it will also search for aspects of your spec that will relate to sending urgent attention alerts that are related exactly to the users needs.

Roots of Reggae will will highlight and honour the contribution older generations have made to reggae and provide an inclusive space for people of all ages to meet and socialise over some great music. In doing so, Roots of Reggae provides a positive, creative solution to a number of complex social challenges, including: - Social isolation and Depression - Lower levels of participation in cultural activities amongst older people - (Lack of) understanding and respect between generations, exemplified by older people's fear of younger people and negative stereotyping of both older and younger people. - Levels of positive contact between people from different backgrounds
