The group set out to review each others’ approaches to developing links with employers in order to support the progression of young people into employment.
The partners work with disengaged young people, between them offering a broad curriculum including pre-apprenticeships, foundation learning, Apprenticeships, NEET programmes (aimed at 16 - 24 year olds) and employment programmes for 18-25 year olds. One has particular specialism in working with young people with disabilities, another with long term unemployed people. In general all partners work with some of the hardest to reach young people.
