The Family Firm Programme at East Renfrewshire offers one-to-one personalised employability support for our care experienced young people between the ages of 16-26 years old.
What we do
Working in partnership with the Youth Intensive Support Services Team, the service offers practical advice, guidance and further training based on your needs and aspirations. Support can include sourcing work placements, taster days and help into employment and further education. Finding work can be tough, so we work closely with other partners and agencies to ensure that our young people are supported with their employability and have access to opportunities.
