Paisley YMCA's iEnterprise Programme
The motion
That the Parliament recognises the Paisley YMCA iEnterprise programme, which is expected to start in January 2016; understands that it will turn the YMCA's building into the only afterhours social action and enterprise hub for young people in Paisley; believe that it will encourage young people to identify needs in their communities, take ownership of these and develop ideas to address them; understands that they will be mentored and supported to take on project management roles, set budgets, solve problems, set goals and work as a team so that their goals are met; believes that iEnterprise activity is certificated and recognised by employers and that each individual or small group has access to tailor-made training in relation to their project; understands that the programme is particularly focused on the 13 to 15-year-olds who are furthest away from the employment market or educational attainment; believes that developing digital and technology skills is a key focus of the programme; considers that it is positive and innovatory and welcomes the impact on the young people involved; congratulates everyone taking part, and hopes that they enjoy every success with the programme.
