Youth employment support

YES Derbyshire (Youth Employment Support), is a joint initiative between us and the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) provides a gateway for young people in Derbyshire to access a range of support services to help move into employment or training.


This is a one-stop-shop for young people aged from 16 to 24, offering access to training and careers advice and guidance. You can access our service if you are not currently engaged with education, employment or training.

Working in partnership, we have developed an inviting and engaging space for the Youth Hub, enabling young people to access support both locally and in an environment that is in the heart of the community. The aim is to provide an alternative space away from the Job Centre.
