Young Careers
Last updated - 7 November 2018
Since we launched our programme in 2015, we've given work placements to hundreds of young people. Our Apprenticeship Programme was launched at the same time. It has secured work for over 150 young people at our Genesis offices and with our key partners.
We also support young people with their education. University students are employed to support 32 young people in primary school each year with their tuition.

We offer a wide range of placements including IT, Finance, Communications, HR and more. Last year saw us have our biggest intake to date.

Tutors United
We have partnered with Tutors United to give afterschool classes to young residents. This is taking place at Woodberry Down and Grahame Park schemes.
They tutor Year 5 and 6 pupils to improve English and Maths attainment for those moving to secondary school. The tutors are university students that are trained and employed to teach. The hope is that this will help children to aspire to further education.
This service runs on Woodberry Down in Hackney and Grahame Park in Barnet. To find out more please contact SEI@genesisha.org.uk.
