Devon County Council runs initiative to boost employment for care-experienced young people
The initiative targeted care-experienced young people and those aged 18 to 25 who were unemployed and not in education or training.

The initiative targeted care-experienced young people and those aged 18 to 25 who were unemployed and not in education or training.

Devon County Council is leading the scheme in partnership with Plymouth City Council and Torbay Council.

The plan focuses on young people, those with special educational needs and disabilities, and others struggling to find their way into training or work.

The Government-backed training will support unemployed people, the self-employed, and employees in businesses of all sizes.
The scheme will deliver employer-designed training in construction, HGV driving, EV charger installation, AI and data, and early years education.

Following negotiations with GMB, the local authority has agreed to new terms and conditions for workers.

The move comes after union members decisively rejected the councils' proposed changes to terms and conditions to the essential car users’ allowance.
