CJH — Community Job Hub
Helping young disadvantaged people find a career they love
About CJH
One Stop Hub
CJH is a one stop hub set up to support and advise young people between the ages of 16–24 into a viable career path or further education.
Our workshops within the programme provide resources, training and practical tools to help support young people through the transition from education into employment, independence and a new post-Covid-19 life.
A key feature of our programmes are the workshops geared towards a young person's mental health — covering topics like "What is Mindfulness", "Building Confidence" and "Dealing with Stress". These areas of development are key for disadvantaged young people, especially given the pressures derived from Covid-19.
CJH is a subsidiary of Community Youth London (CYL), which has been working with young people aged 16–24 since 2007, providing a number of accredited courses within the creative industries.
