EY Foundation 2018 Impact Report

The Impact Journey:

Our transition pathway

The EY Foundation is an independent charity that helps young people overcome barriers to gaining fulfilling employment and supports social entrepreneurs grow their businesses. Central to our innovative approach are the close relationships we have built with employers. They provide opportunities in the workplace and supply thousands of volunteers to help deliver our programmes.

We build the skills and experience of young people through programmes that sit on a `transition pathway'. At the start we will increasingly work with primary school children because choices made at this age can impact future job options.

Our two most intensive programmes are Smart Futures and Our Future. Smart Futures is a ten-month programme targeting 16-17 year olds eligible for free school meals. Our Future runs for sixmonths and is aimed at 16-19 year olds facing multiple barriers to employment.

The pathway doesn't end after getting a job, with support provided once young people have entered the workplace. This is also the stage when we support social entrepreneurs through our Accelerate programme.
