EMPLOYMENT & VOLUNTEERING

Or 38% of the total value has been delivered through employment and volunteering

IN4 Group’s programmes provide essential pathways for participants to acquire industry-relevant skills, access emerging employment opportunities, and secure roles in the cyber and technology sectors. Without these initiatives, many participants, particularly those from underrepresented groups, would lack opportunities to build the skills needed for future careers.

Impact:

• Economic Growth: Increased earnings and workforce hours drive local and regional economic development while retaining local talent • Reduced Unemployment: Placement in high- demand roles reduces unemployment, particularly among marginalised groups • Community Strengthening: Volunteering initiatives enhance social cohesion and community ties

• Workforce Equity: A more diverse workforce reflects greater representation in tech and digital industries • Career Stability: Sustainable careers improve financial security for individuals and families • Business Capacity Building: Employers access skilled talent, reducing recruitment challenges and boosting productivity

This holistic approach delivers lasting benefits to participants, local economies, and businesses while addressing underrepresentation and promoting workforce inclusivity.
