What is Vtalent Year?
The V Talent Year project is a £10.5 million National Full-time volunteering programme that first launched in March 2009. The scheme was piloted with 33 Local Authorities offering 44 week placements in the Children Services and Culture directorate.
The aim of the project is to give 1,000 volunteers aged 16-25 the opportunity to directly enhance and influence public sector services whilst gaining valuable employability skills.
In 2009 the Way to Work team, successfully recruited and set up the VTalent project for the London Borough of Richmond, and placed 15 young people from across our borough into a great mix of placement opportunities. They have now all completed their Level 2 NVQ qualifications and will be finishing their placements on the 19th February 2010.
