- The Crowd
-
The Crowd will be a platform to tap into the untapped agency of NEETS, engage young people and assemble ad-hoc teams, with support and mentors, to drive change in their communities and work with public services. This will provide valuable experience for project working, build soft-skills, peer-peer and community interaction, and boost the confidence and aspirations of young people.

- Link-me

Link-me overcomes rural isolation problems and uses a web-platform that allows rural NEETS to access live webinars on careers topics, and on soft-skills, but more importantly to set-up 'buddies' and 'groups' to support each other in their efforts to gain access to employment and training, and on to their first steps in their career.

- Youth Opportunities - The Power of Crowdsourcing
-
We find ourselves in pressing times, with major reductions in the provision of information services including the scrapping of connexions and the Local Youth Services Directory. However, times like this are also perfect for those keen to change the way things are done! To use our initiative and utilise the ambition and commitment of 1000s of youth workers, employers and youth empowers across London and many more across the country who remain committed to ensuring opportunities are made available to as many young people as possible.

- 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.

- Free careers planning, skills builder and job vacancy matching for young people
-
www.passportfolio.com is a free online careers planning tool for young people, it's been designed by careers professionals in partnership with young people so it's relevant and easy to use. We deliver the Connexions careers service for young people and have access to thousands of young people, we also work with employers and know about their vacancies and what they are looking for. Connexions is being cut or reduced in most areas we want to set up a system on our already working passportfolio website to enable young people and young adults to search for real vacancies that match their skills and help them apply for it, all on one place, online.

- 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.
