Work opportunities
Connections to employment, internships, learnerships, project work and other paid opportunities offered by participating partners.
Opportunities & partnerships
Connecting young people to their next opportunity.
Development creates a foundation. Access to opportunities helps young people put that foundation into practice.
Our purpose
Development should lead somewhere.
Chosen Epics works with a network of partners to help young people explore suitable opportunities and prepare for participation. We support connections between young people and organisations that can offer a meaningful next step.
Different participants have different interests, circumstances and levels of readiness. We explore options that fit the person and the opportunities available, rather than assuming everyone needs the same pathway.
Different futures
Four types of opportunity.
Entrepreneurship and micro enterprise
Pathways to develop a business idea, participate in a trading or service opportunity, or access support for a small enterprise.
Further learning and development
Connections to courses, skills programmes, mentoring and other learning opportunities relevant to a young person’s goals.
Market access and business support
Connections to potential customers, suppliers, enterprise development programmes and organisations that support business growth.

How the pathway works
Preparation matters. So does what happens next.
Our role is to bridge learning and real-world possibilities, rather than treat participation in a programme as the end of the journey.
Understand the next step
Explore a participant’s interests, existing capabilities and the type of work, learning or enterprise pathway they want to pursue.
Build readiness
Identify practical preparation needs, including communication, workplace expectations, applications or basic enterprise skills.
Make relevant connections
Where suitable opportunities exist, share information or facilitate introductions through employers, educators and enterprise partners.
Support progression
Where programme and partner arrangements permit, follow up on next steps and identify additional support that may be useful.
Partnership-led progression
Beyond the programme.
For organisations running structured youth initiatives, this can include planning transitions and exit opportunities. For individual young people, it may begin with finding a course, a first job, a business opportunity or practical support.
Each pathway depends on the opportunities available and the participant’s circumstances.
Plan a pathway togetherSupporting progression
Prepare. Connect. Follow through.
We help participants identify their interests and readiness, prepare for relevant opportunities and connect with suitable providers. Where arrangements allow, we follow up to understand participation and progress, and help identify further support.
For organisations supporting a defined group of young people, we can work together to plan suitable next steps beyond the initial programme.
