The Vine Trust has understood that it is too big a leap for some young people to go straight into the work place, further to this, potential employers are not always able to operate their business and at the same time, cater for the specialist needs some young people have.
For over 21 years, we have developed a number of social enterprises that are offering real solutions.
Through our subsidiary 'The Vine Social Enterprises', we are running leading edge initiatives that work with the corporate and public sector, to create a society where young people can work without impediment. |
