Welcome New Members and an Update for Late July, 2015

Hello Everyone

Welcome as always to new members who have joined for late July 2015. As you can see, Let's Build Bridges is a Forum, to create opportunities for young people and for adults.

To keep it simple, this blog will tell new members all they need to know about what has been discussed.

If any young people are looking for voluntary work experience, then Lee Willows, the Founder of Young Gamblers Education Trust, has offered placements, and can be contacted on the LinkedIn page:

For skills and qualifications for non-graduates, I have been speaking to The Princes Trust's Outreach Team, and they have a very effective 'Into' programme in place, to assess and refer young people accordingly, if you know of any non-graduates who may need their help.

Of course, I am pushing for full qualified assessment of all non-graduates, and would be interested to hear the youth workers' views about how we could do this.

On the start-ups side, we have had a new recruit for the Job Creation group. Chiara will bring new ideas and momentum to the discussions, and as I have told her, what we need now, is a practical demonstration of the Gorilla database in action.

If you are interested in starting a business, or know someone who is, then they are welcome to make use of this database:

Google+ (‘Gorilla Opportunity’ Start-Ups Database)

In the meantime, I'd like to thank all members for their efforts, welcome new ones, and long may we continue. The combined skills and expertise of the members in this group alone is making a big difference. Every idea, or discussion means a new opportunity can be created, which could make all the difference to someone's career.

I welcome your insights, and look forward to hearing. Let's make some opportunities!

Best Regards

James M
