#YouthEmpowered focuses on two key areas – Life Skills and Business Skills – as employers today require young people to be quick learners and integrate smoothly into the workplace with an understanding of self and the commercial environment. It aims to foster confidence and resiliance among young people, helping them to embrace new career and learning opportunities.
The programme is developed and delivered in partnership with YouthAction Northern Ireland and Youth Work Ireland. A substantial investment has been made to develop a curriculum which is designed to help remove the barriers that exist for young people between the ages of 18 and 30 who have left the formal education system but who have been unable to secure or retain employment.
The programme is be delivered in two formats, virtual workshop training , specifically designed for those not in education, training or employment, and a free online Digital Hub.
In 2020, it was expanded to offer free insights and training to any young person disproportionately impacted by Covid-19. All training and resources are now available via ie.coca-colahellenic.com.
