In Spring 2024, The King’s Trust USA and our delivery partner City Year supported over 200 young people across thirteen schools in Chicago, Detroit, and New York City through the Enterprise Challenge program. It culminated in the inaugural US Enterprise Challenge Finals in New York City, which brought together nearly 100 attendees to hear the business plans from each of the 2024 Regional Enterprise Challenge Winners.
Since 1976, The King’s Trust has continued in its belief that every young person should have the chance to succeed. Across our global network, we support 11 to 30-year-olds in 23 countries who are facing multiple barriers to progressing with their lives to engage in education, start careers and become entrepreneurs.
The courses offered by The Trust help young people aged 11-30 to develop essential life skills, get ready for work and access job opportunities. We support them in finding work because having a job or running a business can lead to a more stable, fulfilling life.
The Get Hired program is aimed at young people who may be struggling to secure employment through a traditional recruitment process, addressing the power imbalance between young people and employers. Get Hired transfers the focus away from traditional shortlisting practice, such as having an emphasis on qualifications and previous experience, and more onto the young person’s inter-personal skills and attitude. Barriers to gaining an interview are thereby reduced.
The Trust was founded on the vision that every young person should have the chance to succeed – a vision that remains unchanged today.
