Support for all young people

If you’re aged 16 to 24, you can get job search and skills advice from a few different places.

There are a range of options as part of the Government’s Youth Guarantee.

A Youth Hub is a place in your local area where you can get help with your job search. They bring together support from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and help from local organisations, so you can get the support you need to build skills, find opportunities and move into work.
At a Youth Hub you can get help with job searching, CV writing, confidence building, training opportunities and meeting local employers. You’ll also find advice on mental health and housing support delivered by trusted partners.
You don’t need to be claiming Universal Credit to access a Youth Hub. There are already over 100 Youth Hubs across Great Britain, with many more being set up.

If you live in one of these areas and are aged 18-21, you might be eligible for additional training and support from Government, based on your individual needs.
If you live in one of these areas, you could be eligible: Cambridgeshire and Peterborough; East Midlands; Liverpool City Region; London; Tees Valley; West of England; and West Midlands.
