- Taking a ‘vocational pathway’ to work (i.e. not university)
- Currently undertaking a Level 2 or 3 apprenticeship
- Receiving Universal Credit/benefits, or engaging with the Jobcentre

- Facing discrimination when trying to find work based on your race or ethnicity
- Being autistic
- Having a learning disability or learning difficulties
- Having a mental health condition

We particularly welcome applications from people from ethnically minoritised backgrounds, especially those of Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Black Caribbean or Black African heritage, and those with refugee or asylum seeker status.
How to apply
Please complete this short application form by Sunday 22nd February 2026.
You can watch a video version of the application pack above.
You can apply in the format that best suits you: written, video recording or voice note. If you have any questions, please email youthinclusion@youthfuturesfoundation.org.
We will shortlist applications for a one-hour group meeting with other applicants on Zoom (between 25 February and 6 March). The meeting will be a supportive, informal discussion.
