Water company to create 400 work placements for young care leavers
MIDLANDS, ENGLAND, JUL 25 – Severn Trent and Midlands businesses will provide 400 placements to support care leavers facing high risks of poverty and unemployment, part of a 2,000-placement initiative.
- On 2025-07-25, Severn Trent Water pledged to create 400 work placements for young care leavers across the Midlands over the next four years, supporting employment for vulnerable youth.
- In recent years, there have been calls for better support for young people leaving care, prompted by a rise in homelessness among care leavers last year.
- Through the Midlands Employer Alliance, Severn Trent will directly offer 100 placements while supporting inclusive recruitment with over 20 Midlands-based businesses.
- The earlier work scheme placed 33 young care-experienced people, resulting in full-time jobs for some, according to Severn Trent's recent pilot program.
- At a time when the number of young people not in education, employment or training nears one million, the initiative aligns with a 10-year strategy, supporting 100,000 people.
