Make Trax with Kat Drop-in Session - Employment & Training Support

Make Trax with Kat

Kat provides one‑to‑one support to help young people (16–29) build confidence, explore career options, and take practical steps toward education, training, volunteering, or work.

Who is it for?

Barnardo’s Make Trax provides information, guidance and support for young people aged 16-29 who are not currently in paid employment or education.

Where?

Barnardo’s Make Trax can work with young people living in Brighton & Hove, or Crawley. Our friendly coaches can meet you in community locations like libraries, youth hubs or cafés (the drinks are on us!). We can also provide support via telephone, video calls and email if you prefer this.
