Youth Transition Network

The Youth Transition Network (YTN) is aimed at 16 to 24-year-olds from Ealing, Hounslow, Hammersmith & Fulham and surrounding boroughs.

Funded for three years by the Big Lottery Youth in Focus initiative, we are partnering with Action West London to provide intensive one-to-one support for young people who are about to leave or who have already left custodial institutes in the past 12 months or who are leaving care.

Our aim is twofold:

• We assist young people in gaining employment, training and educational opportunities. Through one-to-one personalised action plans and regular meetings we assess literacy, numeracy, IT and employability skills and progress the young people through job readiness sessions, focusing particularly on CV preparation, interviews, job search and understanding the expectations of employers

• We encourage and support young people to build up their own network of contacts and organisations in their boroughs and confidently access services that can assist with any barriers to education, training and employment.

Catch22 has seven schools across the UK that provide young people of all ages with alternative education in order for them to progress and succeed in sustained education or employment. We do this through high quality teaching and learning based on effective relationships that enable the achievement of life skills and meaningful qualifications.

Catch22 include School PPP West London is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
