Silver Award
Have you loved the challenge of completing Bronze? Do you feel ready to push yourself further and demonstrate to future employers that you are that resilient, interesting young leader they want? Check out the Silver Award.
Or if you have not done Bronze, you can sign up for the more challenging direct entry Silver Award. This will require a longer time commitment (see below)
Silver Resources to get you started
Youth Without Limits LIVE: Beyond the CV are exciting and unique events designed to support young people, like you, to explore and develop the skills needed as you transition into employment. They include:
-
Workshops on routes to employment, applying for jobs, personal branding and communication
-
Panel discussions on navigating the future with young professionals
-
Keynote talks from employers and business leaders
-
Employer engagement opportunities
The events will help you talk about your strengths and your DofE experience when applying for work. You’ll see how your DofE experiences will continue to help you in the workplace far beyond your application and interview.
They are open to current DofE participants and recent Award holders, fully accessible and free of charge to attend. We’ll provide lunch and refreshments throughout as well as everything that’s needed for full participation in the event and all activities.
