Why do we need Enterprise Architects?

Last year we helped more than 40,000 young people, with three in four young people on our programmes moving into a positive outcome in work, education, or training. The young people we help face a range of challenges, such as unemployment, mental health issues, or those who have been in trouble with the law. We believe all young people should have the chance to succeed, and that they are the key to a positive and prosperous future for all of us. We want to continue having a positive impact on young people’s lives and we couldn’t do this without the important work of Enterprise Architects.
