Printwear & Promotion The Total Promotional Package
Next Gen Supported Learning is the latest initiative launched by FESPA UK to help connect young people with promising careers in the print, signage and graphics industry.
This initiative aims to bridge the skills gap, support employers in filling key job roles, and create meaningful opportunities for young people with disabilities, to gain work experience and progress into employment.
Molly Jackson, FESPA UK’s marketing and content executive, and head of the Next Gen Project, said “This initiative is a real game changer for our industry. It’s amazing to see a real push for supported learning, something that should be a common standard. These learners bring fresh ideas, determination, and invaluable skills that will genuinely enhance businesses. It was time for change, and I hope more companies recognise the potential and impact of giving these young people the opportunities they deserve.”
Employers across England and Wales are invited to take part in this fully funded programme, which offers a six-week work placement followed by a one-year internship.
Over the past five months, FESPA UK has forged strong partnerships with more than 60 colleges across England and Wales, ensuring a pipeline of young individuals ready to take their first steps into the industry.
