A Project Funded By
DurhamWorks is a partnership project between Durham County Council and 6 organisations working together to support young people who are not in education, employment or training.
We can give you information, support and guidance that will help you find opportunities near to you. We check through hundreds of job and apprenticeship opportunities and can find out what courses and training are available for you too.
When I started DurhamWorks I was nervous about coming along, but now I am much more confident. DurhamWorks give you the training you need which is better for your CV. If I was to speak to people my age or younger about signing up for DurhamWorks, I would say go for it.

Bosch Light Vehicle Technician Apprenticeship (Level 3) (FT)

I'd gone to 3 different colleges and dropped out of them all and then I found DurhamWorks. I have now completed a Level 2 in youth work, first aid and food safety courses. My future is much brighter and positive as I've got things I want to do now and I have end goals.

I started my RAF application but knew it would take a while to come through so wanted to look for a job whilst I was waiting. DurhamWorks helped my develop my interviews skills and have made my CV more attractive to employers. If you genuinely want to get into work and want to help yourself its worth signing up.

I finished my degree in design and wasn't having any luck with jobs as I didn't have the experience they wanted. DurhamWorks helped me find a job in digital Marketing. DurhamWorks is important for people like myself as people who finish a degree or college don't know what job they want to go into. DurhamWorks can help you find those opportunities that are right for you.

I was offered the opportunity to take part in a 12 week course. Taking part in the course has been fantastic and I've loved every minute of it. It has helped me improve my skills in finding a job as well as with my social side as I now have a number of new friends.
