Graduate Scheme

The programme also offers an opportunity for two graduates to undertake a fully funded postgraduate qualification in youth Work whilst conducting placements within North Yorkshire. Graduates on the scheme will also receive a bursary.

The course is a fast track route to becoming a qualified Youth Worker and takes two calendar years to complete.

The participants must complete 4 six month part time professional practice placements with 13-19 year olds. The first will be with North Yorkshire County Council.

Applications for the graduate scheme have now closed, however there are still oppurtunities for organisations within integrated youth support to offer Practice Placements.

Offering Practice Placements

As part of the graduate scheme the candidates have to undertake a minimum of 4 placements over the two years in different areas of integrated youth support. Therefore the project will be looking for organisations willing to host a graduate on a 6 month placement during which they can undertake a specific project but will need to be working directly with young people. This would be free to the host organisation.

For more information on the Graduate Scheme or Offering Practice Placements please contact Jessica Wallis, North Yorkshire County Council on Jessica.wallis@northyorks.gov.uk or 01609 533061.
