Figuring Out

Supporting unemployed young people into self-employment

stepclever.jpgStriding Out has teamed up with award winning Liverpool based social enterprise, ELECT, to develop the entrepreneurial skills of unemployed young people in North Liverpool.

Stepclever - The Sefton and Liverpool Enterprise Growth Initiative (SLEGI) has contracted us to release the latent entrepreneurship in young people aged 16-25 resident in the SLEGI area. The area presents the greatest economic regeneration challenge in the UK - one of its SOAs has the worst level of deprivation in the country.

We are providing inspirational events and one to one business and career coaching for 16-25 yr olds linked to local opportunities, sport, the arts and other interests of young people to assist progression to education, training and employment especially self-employment. 

Over the next year we aim to:-

  • Increase young people's awareness of enterprise opportunities.
  • Instil in young people greater levels of self-confidence, presentation, and sales & operational skills
  • Reach local young people through targeted promotion and local accessibility.
  • Improve young people's economic well being.
  • Connecting with the local private sector and relevant education establishments.
  • Adding value to the existing provision aimed at 16-25 year old young people.
  • Developing programmes to meet the needs of local individuals
  • Help young people identify locally emerging opportunities in the private sector.
