How to contact our team nationally and around the country
The Community Task Force was part of the Department for Work & Pensions Young Person's Guarantee and helped young jobseekers (aged 18-24) make a real difference in local communities across South West Wales and South Wales Valleys.
Groundwork, its partners and a range of local businesses worked together with the Department for Work & Pensions and Jobcentre Plus to provide opportunities for young people to take part in work experience, aimed at increasing their chances of getting a job whilst making a really worthwhile contribution to their local area.
The Community Task Force gave young people 13 weeks of work experience together with personal mentoring to help them find a job. Young people who joined the Community Task Force worked a 25 hour week, with an additional five hours being dedicated to job searching. Work placements were structured to provide environmental, economic and social benefits to their community - typically including roles such as land management workers, gardeners and recycling workers.
