The Creative Work Placement Case studies provide an indepth review of the companies that are working with Ixion to offer real working experience to the young unemployed. They describe why each company chose to work with Ixion, and the challenges faced in training and motivating the young people hired through the scheme.
Our objective is to provide employment for 18 - 24 year olds who have been unemployed for six months or longer; giving them experience and the support to learn key skills and the appreciation of work. As part of the solution we look at how each company provides in job training, with Ixion providing additional support and guidance through an experienced and dedicated careers coach.
Most of the employees are about half way through their placements; a few others have finished. It demonstrates how Ixion and the partnered companies have had a huge impact on each of the young people's lives; inspiring them to continue working and being motivated.
