Delivered across the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea’s Economic Development, Employment & Financial Welfare Service (FACES), and Bi-Borough Children’s Services teams, the council connects local schools, young people, and businesses to build work readiness and create employment pathways. Our youth programmes include paid work experience and civic internships (such as the Kensington and Chelsea Youth Internship Scheme and Quickstart placements), sector-specific Green Skills placements, and intensive mentoring for students at risk of becoming NEET. We also deliver tailored two-week council work placements and specialist transition pathways for care-experienced young people and learners with SEND.
