51²èÂ¥

Launched in the summer of 2022 the careers, training, and education service, known as Careers Worcs, is a collaboration between 51²èÂ¥, the 51²èÂ¥ Local Enterprise Partnership and backed by the European Social Fund. 

It primarily aims to help young people aged 15-24 who are not in education or training, as well as providing supportive advice for all young adults looking for further education, apprenticeship, training, employability, and wellbeing support.

Since its launch, the Careers Worcs’ Hub at The Hive has supported more than 500 young people with comprehensive career guidance and seen over 135 young people secure ongoing employment.

Judy Gibbs, Head of Skills and Investment at 51²èÂ¥, praised the impact of the Careers Worcs Hub, "This one-year milestone showcases the unwavering dedication of the Careers 51²èÂ¥ team and the incredible potential of our young people here in 51²èÂ¥. It’s become an indispensable resource and we are so proud of the young people that come in to use the service. The partnerships we’ve developed, such as with DWP, 51²èÂ¥ Apprenticeships, WorkPays, SeeTec Pluss, Young Adult Learning 51²èÂ¥, The Basement Project and more, have helped us ensure that young people across the county get the best support possible. As the Careers 51²èÂ¥ Hub enters its second year, it does so with immense pride in past achievements and an unwavering commitment to empowering future generations in 51²èÂ¥." 

Councillor Marc Bayliss, Cabinet Member with Responsibility for Economy, Infrastructure, and Skills, said the Careers 51²èÂ¥ Hub at The Hive has played a pivotal role, “The team here at Careers Worcs are helping to transform the lives of young people and together they’re making a real difference in shaping 51²è¥’s workforce of the future. With strategic partnerships and unwavering support, we've witnessed positive transformations, empowering our young talents with skills and knowledge to thrive in their chosen fields. Collaboration with more than 20 professional partners has further strengthened the Hub's impact, and with their continued support the Carers Worcs Hub at The Hive stands as a shining example of positive change driven by a united community."
