SESKU Academy is a registered charity (Charity No.1143258) and company limited by guarantee (Company No. 7667653) formed on the 13th June 2011 and based at the Burntwood Community Centre in South Kirkby. We are proud to announce we have been given a gold standard for Youth unemployment and a Work Experience Quality Standard. Unemployment has been a major an issue in the UK since 2005, and although recently the youth unemployment figures have started to reduce the number of young people NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training) is still too high. Worse still the number of young people experiencing long term unemployment is increasing we have been working hard to support young people to make the right choices and follow their ambitions through projects like Youth Contract and Talent Match to give young people extra support and reward those for achieving through supporting them with Personal Development. We have been selected to receive the national Youth Friendly badge award that is given to companies who commits to two forms of “Youth Friendly” behaviour. We believe we are a magnanimous company and aspire to continue to support more young people in the Wakefield district.
