Wealden Works is a rural employability programme

We give an opportunity for 40 young people aged 16-24 in the Wealden area each year, who do not benefit from contacts with the business world and other support networks, to take an important step on their personal journey into employment and contributing citizenship.

Bridging the gap between education and work.

“I now have a job I love, with a fantastic career future, all within just 6 weeks of joining Wealden Works. I honestly thought that I would be sitting on the benefit ladder for the rest of my life. Wealden Works gave me the skills and confidence to achieve something that I never thought possible.
