Notice Title

Skills Connect - Video Series to support Youth Guarantee engagement and Green Skills

Notice Description

The Youth Guarantee pages on Skills Connect Find your direction - how to get into work - Skills Connect are designed to be the primary digital gateway for young people aged 16-25 across the West of England to explore employment, education, and training opportunities. The pages bring together local provision, support services, and guidance, but much of this information is currently delivered through written content. To improve accessibility, engagement, and user confidence, we want to commission a series of short, high-quality explainer videos that present key information in a clear, relatable, and youth-friendly way. These videos should support young people to understand their options, feel reassured about next steps, and be encouraged to explore relevant opportunities hosted on Skills Connect.
