As part of link-up between the National Youth Agency (NYA) and De Montfort University (DMU), around 25 youth work students from the Leicester-based university will be employed by the NYA to work with 16-year-olds on a NCS residential programme this summer.
The NYA, in partnership with O2, is helping to deliver the NCS in Kent and Warrington.
Five of the second-year youth work students will be supervised by Joint Negotiating Committee (JNC)-qualified workers who will assess their practice as part of their formal qualification.
De Montfort University has a large number of students going out on placement – in order to qualify as JNC practitioners – but placements are usually 18 hours per week for 16 weeks, rather than the fortnight of the NCS residential programme.
