Greater Manchester Talent Match

Greater Manchester Talent Match is a Big Lottery funded project which offers intensive support to young people aged 18-24. The vision of Talent Match is that:

All young people are valued and supported to realise their potential, gain employment and enjoy fulfilling lives. Connecting young people, employers and organisations will change the way youth employment is approached in Greater Manchester 

Within the Talent Match cohort, Salford Foundation is focusing on supporting ex-offenders who face additional barriers to finding work.  The project helps young people to identify the employment sectors which they are interested in and to source voluntary opportunities to enable them to try different types of work. It also enables them to access qualifications which will enhance their employment opportunities and supports them with job search and preparation tasks including application forms, interview skills and CV writing.
