Jobs4teens is proud to be working alongside
The Training Hub, supplying candidates that meet their requirements.
The Training Hub was founded by Neil Degg,
read his story to learn how by giving young people the right opportunities
early can benefit many:
“Neil Degg knows what the future can look
like for someone from a deprived background and/or lacking in a good education.
Raised in a part of Manchester with high unemployment and low educational
outcomes, he was already getting into trouble by the age of six. Coupled with
an emotionally absent father and a mother doing her best to keep the family
together, life was always going to be a challenge.
By the age of 15, Neil was living in a homeless
unit. Alienated from the kind of support network a person needs to make healthy
choices, his life continued on a downward spiral. Reflecting on those times, he
says, “I wasn’t thinking about how my behaviour was impacting other people. I
was just trying to survive in the only way I knew how.”
Things only began to change for Neil when,
at 28, he was given the opportunity to work in social care:
“I instantly resonated with that
environment. I understood the challenges that young people in care faced - and
those of adults who lacked an education, or were from a marginalised
background. I could see why they often failed and I knew I could use my own
experiences to make a positive contribution to the lives of others. It made me
realise, had I received the right encouragement, education and opportunity, I
could have contributed positively to society a lot sooner"
Neil launched The Training Hub in 2014 -
followed by The Big Initiative in 2017.
Proudly featured in Forbes and showcased on
the BBC for the outcomes achieved with children, young people and adults, The
Training Hub provides training resources across multiple sectors - supporting
an individual's career alongside free preventative, life skill, parental and
mental health resources for all age groups.
The Training Hub believes that engagement is
pivotal for an individual to be inspired to invest time in themselves.
Everyone's experience of life, regardless of age, determines their ability to
see the value in something. Unfortunately, life can sometimes make the possible
seem impossible - but we must never stop trying to unlock each individual's
potential.
Education is the
passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it
today.”
