NEETs Unlimited

There are approximately 1 million trustees in the UK. There are 1 million young people classified as not in employment, education or training(NEET). By supporting and mentoring one or more NEETs, charity trustees can break down obstacles preventing young people from acheiving employment, education and training.

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.

EntrepreneurFinder.com - Feeding Entrepreneurship

EntrepreneurFinder is a free interactive resource designed around the needs of entrepreneurs, students, skilled individuals, professionals and investors. The idea behind the site, is to give our users the ability to take control of their professional and entrepreneurial careers from start to finish. And, provide them with tools to find employment or create ways to become self employed. The site assists everyone from students looking for mentors to recruiters and entrepreneurs looking for professionals to investors looking for the next great company in search of funding. By bringing these people together, EntrepreneurFinder will start to act as an online feeder system for entrepreneurship, funneling all the key resources needed to a single freely accessible platform. 20% of new jobs come from start-ups. We need to do all we can to give motivated individuals the tools that they need to build a successful company and employ others.

Innovation Boosters

I occasionally work with a company called Argenta-Europ that deliver innovation boosters, practical and energizing problem solving workhops, that bring together the key people required to address a real strategic, technical, market, project or process-related company challenge. Tried and tested in a huge European company, we are looking for opportunities to widen the use of these into the public sector.
