We understand that getting back into work, training, or even figuring out what’s next can feel overwhelming. If you’ve been out of work for a while, it’s easy to lose confidence or feel unsure of where to start. That’s exactly why Isle Listen have created Enable Potential, to help people with their journey into the workplace.

Commissioned by The Treasury, Enable Potential is a free, six-month pilot programme designed to support 18–30 year olds who have been receiving benefits for 6 months or more, in taking the next step with the right guidance.

Enable Potential brings together coaching, therapy, and practical training to help people build confidence, develop new skills, and explore opportunities at their own pace. Individuals work with a personal coach who helps them set achievable goals, whether that’s getting into work, starting an apprenticeship, or returning to education. Workshops teach real-world skills, from writing an effective CV to managing stress and overcoming workplace challenges. Supportive therapy sessions are also available to help people overcome any self-doubt or fears that may be holding them back.

Through the programme individuals gain:

• – Practical tools to improve their employability and career readiness
  • – Therapeutic support to build resilience and boost wellbeing
    • – Networking opportunities with like-minded young people on the same journey
      • – A clear pathway towards next steps, whether in work, training, or education

The pilot programme began in October 2025 and is due to finish in March 2026. Applications for this cohort are now closed.
