X-CITE: TRAINING & EMPLOYABILITY GATEWAY FOR YOUTH
New Hope Global has partnered with Ashiana Community Project that is part of a consortium of other organisations. The project is funded by European Social Fund to support young people who are unemployed or economically inactive and are aged between 15 to 29 years of age back into training, employment, or education across Birmingham.
This project is part-financed by the European Union through the European Social Fund (ESF) under the Youth Employment Initiative.
The project aims to provide one-to-one support to young people to develop skills, gain qualifications, and build confidence to help individuals progress onto training, employment, or further learning.
We can offer information, support and access to accredited and informal training courses, Language courses, basic skills, digital skills qualifications, offer work experience/placements, as well as voluntary opportunities. We can help with CV preparation, interview skills, confidence building, advice on benefit entitlements enabling young people to be ready for the labour market.
We aim to help present prospective candidates, as the perfect candidate for potential employers. Having networked with local employers, we have access to job opportunities; we can also provide support to develop your business plan if you are considering self-employment.
We have access to a range of activities to support physical health and mental well-being

BRIDGE TO SUCCESS: NAVIGATING DISADVANTAGED YOUTH TOWARDS EMPLOYMENT
This initiative is funded by Positive Futures Fund & Heart of England Community Foundation, designed to equip young disadvantaged young people aged 13 to 25 years old with the necessary skills, confidence, mentorship, support and guidance to navigate them towards Employment, Training and Education. Bridge to Success project, will offer tailored support to 18 disadvantaged young people in some of the most deprived parts of Birmingham’s inner-city areas, such as Lozells, Aston and Newtown.
The Initiative is designed to help and support young beneficiaries through:
a) Mentorship: Help beneficiaries explore career options, set goals, and develop strategies to achieve them as well as CV support and practical support with job interview and job application. Each beneficiary will get one-to-one support from the mentor
b) Work Experience: Help the young beneficiaries gain work experience through volunteering, work experience and work placement that offer valuable work experience as well as arranging mock interviews with the employers.
c) Wrap around services: Wraparound services promote resilience, therefore, we will provide young people a holistic, individualised approach to support their emotional, social, and educational/employment needs, such as mental health care, encourage them to take up physical activities, provide befriending and basic counselling, academic support through extracurricular activities, after school homework support and community programmes to encourage cohesion and work with people of different ages to promote intergeneration experience. Furthermore, support with housing, universal credit, student loans and much more to support a young person who may face specific challenges.
