'Your Next Steps' event 23rd September 2026

'Your Next Steps' is an event for young people aged 18-21 who are not in education, employment and training.
 
Come along to PINS Social Club, 45-61 Duke Street, L1 5AP, and meet our support partners dedicated to supporting you with exploration of education, training opportunities and employment opportunities.  
 
This event is also a brilliant opportunity to meet our employers who have committed to providing a six-month paid opportunity for young people. Bring along your CV if you have a copy.
 
A free lunch, soft drinks and a game of bowling is all included in your ticket - completely free. Parents and carers of young people are also welcome to attend.

Book your free tickets 

  • Wednesday 23rd September 226 from 11am -12pm: Quiet hour. Book your quiet hour ticket (eventbrite.co.uk) if you are mindful of large groups, crowds or perhaps just prefer to have your conversations in a quieter environment.
  • Wednesday 23rd September 2026 from 12pm-2pm: Main event. Book your main event ticket (eventbrite.co.uk) if you are coming along with friends, would like to bowl after meeting organisations and are happy to engage in a busier environment.

Are you an employer who can help?

If you and your business can help 18-21 year olds who are not in education, employment or training, we want to hear from you.
