Summary
Helen Whately and Baroness Deborah Stedman-Scott visited St Mary's Stadium this week to examine how Saints Works supports Southampton young people who are not in education, employment or training.
Saints Works targets 16-19-year-olds with one-to-one guidance, employability workshops, confidence-building activities and routes into education or jobs, alongside in-work support to help sustain outcomes.
Participants told the visitors how tailored support and trusted relationships had improved their confidence, motivation and prospects after facing barriers to opportunity.
Helen Whately said the project offers lessons for tackling a wider national NEET challenge, while Saints Foundation said the visit helped spotlight its role in addressing youth unemployment locally.
