The Thing Tank: A mobile application and online platform, ‘The Thing Tank’ will help young people not in employment, education or training to easily record, collate and present ‘things’ they’ve done to create a narrative of relevant experience. The process is supported by a youth worker (and in many cases by peers) and experiences will contribute to agreed challenges which can form part of an accredited youth qualification. All ‘things’ or experiences will also be automatically synced into an online multi-media CV template. ‘Things’ can be recorded in a variety of ways (by photo, video, text, audio) and can even submitted by others. Young people also gain important social media and multi-media skills while sharing and learning with their peer group. This will all result in increased employability and chances of access to further education.

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.
