How DurhamWorks Helps Employers Find the Right Talent.pdf
The Auckland Project is a charity on regeneration, tourism, and creating opportunities for young people. As part of their mission, they aim to support young people in developing skills and securing employment.
Richard Hinch, Head of Learning and Skills at The Auckland Project, has worked with DurhamWorks to recruit and support young employees. Through this partnership, the charity has successfully hired two people from DurhamWorks, including one candidate who originally joined through The Prince’s Trust. This individual required additional job coaching and support during their work placement, which DurhamWorks provided.
By offering tailored guidance and a structured transition, DurhamWorks made the hiring process easier for the Auckland Project. The organisation not only gained valuable employees but also had the confidence that the new hires were receiving the support they needed to succeed in their roles.
The partnership goes both ways – when The Auckland project encounters young people who could benefit from additional support, they refer them to DurhamWorks. This ensures that more young people can access the training and opportunities needed to enter the workforce.
