Rinova Consortium
The Rinova Consortium consists of a unique
network of employability and skills organisations working together
to create new opportunities for young people. We do this by
utilising artistic and cultural expression, the creative
industries, sport, health and active leisure to engage and inspire
young people NEET (not in employment, education or training).
We have extensive reach with employers in
these growing job sectors, through our support programmes to SMEs,
our experience of the Future Jobs Fund, our links to Sector Skills
Councils and our new Apprenticeships programmes.

Our consortium is pan-London and in recent
months we have:
- Offered our support to Prime Contractors to deliver imaginitive
and effective employability initatives for Young Adults 18-24 on
the Work Programme
- Developed new pilot Apprenticeship initiatives for those aged
16-18 and 19+ with Skills Funding Agency Providers
- Designed new NEET partnership provision
- Developed a new partnership to implement volunteering and
social action initiatives for young people leaving school.
