Employment and Volunteering It is recognised that personal and professional development acts as a pathway to employment in the local technology sector. Without IN4 Group’s established methodology, support, and delivery programmes, many of the participants would not have had the opportunity to learn new skills, and identify and secure employment or funded placement opportunities within organisations. Employment is the strongest performance theme with seven clearly defined forecasted outcomes, with a wealth of supporting evidence to confirm these are being achieved. Outcomes • Increased volunteering within the community • Increased employment • Increased employment-ready candidates

Impact 36 participants are achieving new employment, and a further 199 are employment ready or have gained interviews. This has been achieved by reducing barriers to employment and developing and aligning new skills required in the fast-moving and developing sectors. • New and continuous delivery of community activities • New entries into the employment market • New core knowledge • A new entrance into the tech sector • New job opportunities for local people
• Increased employability skills • A greater understanding of a future employment/career path • Bridging the technology skills gap • Reduced NEETs (Not in employment, education, training)
The forecasted value delivered through employment and volunteering is £974,308 or 29.3% per annum of the total value..
