Process

Through co-design, working with over 20 young people who have been supported by both the Work Programme and JobCentre Plus to understand their experience and ideas for better support.

Outcome

The learning generated during the sessions was captured in a report designed to be used as a practical and generative tool to help ongoing service development and redesign.
