Dave Fishwick

With nearly a million people under 25 not in work, job centres are failing to engage young people with the idea of finding a job. But what if the job centre was reinvented by young people, for young people? Straight-talking self-made millionaire Dave Fishwick is one of the biggest suppliers of minibuses in Britain. In 2011, he took on the banking industry and successfully fought to open his own bank. The Secret Millions follows him and the Foyer Federation as they start a 'Pop-up Talent Shop', going into the heart of deprived communities. The Foyer Federation have devised a project where, instead of the unemployed going to job centres, employers go to them in pop-up talent shops run by young people. The job shop could pop up anywhere, from shopping centres to community centres or even on the streets. Designed to encourage young people into the workplace, and often away from crime, the shop introduces local employers to people they would never normally consider hiring.
