Bespoke support scheme launched to help curb rise in Neet young people

1 min read Youth Work Careers Guidance
An initiative providing support to young people most at risk of falling out of education, employment or training has been launched by the Private Equity Foundation.

Working in the London boroughs of Islington, Hackney and Tower Hamlets, allocated "progression coaches" will provide bespoke support within schools for teenagers as part of the ThinkForward programme.

Under the initiative – being delivered alongside employment charity Tomorrow’s People, Ernst & Young, local authorities and local schools – sustained support will be available for young people from the age of 14 through to 19.

Each young person will go through an assessment and a personal action plan to help them access and utilise other local initiatives already available for them.

The coach will also introduce workplace mentors to provide business networks and work opportunities.
