About placements

Allowing young people to learn in a safe and live environment

The Employment Support placements are crucial in providing opportunities for young people who are furthest from the job market. Many face significant barriers to employment, whether due to a lack of experience, personal challenges, or limited access to opportunities.

Given the tourism based nature of our economy, Area 43 created a placement programme that allowed young people to learn in a live, but safe environment, with the intensive levels of support required to gain overcome barriers to employment.

During their time with us, young people gain resilience, communication skills, overcome anxiety in dealing with customers, and address all their individual support needs to be able to gain meaningful employment. You can see what they have to say about their experiences in their vlogs, and if this support is something you would benefit from, get in touch!

Adapting our services

During the lifetime of Depot, we have always adapted services based on what young people told us they needed for support. Early on, young people identified that a major impact for them was the ability to adapt to an employment market with ongoing mental health issues.

Young people with ongoing mental health issues felt barred ffrom the employment market, and struggled to gain the experience and skills required to gain and maintain employment in our local economy.

They asked Depot to help, and the Reverb project was created.
