DurhamWorks programme for schools


DurhamWorks Programme for Schools is a dedicated project for young people aged 15-16 years old, who need extra help when making decision about education, training and employment opportunities after year 11.

We are a partnership programme working to support young people and help them to create their future and support them to retain in education, employment or training until 18.

DurhamWorks Programme for Schools provides everything you need to get on including:

  • One to One support with a dedicated member of  our team
  • Group activities to help you think about your next steps in a fun and interactive way
  • School events that involve Business Ambassadors from local employers and organisations that can help answer your queries about working life

We aim through all our support to ensure that we:

  • Help you find out what you want to do
  • Explore the skills and qualifications, you need to progress
  • Find the best next step to get you moving towards your aspirations
  • Support you to get advice regarding support, financial matters or travel to your next placement
  • Help you into further learning or training, volunteering, or work with training

If you would like to refer yourself or a family member for support (aged 15-16) please contact us or chat with an adviser on the DurhamWorks website.
