Young People’s Education,
Training and Employment Support
Creating Positive Opportunity offer a range of training opportunities for young people aged 11 -19. Our core offer is bespoke learning for those with an EHCP aged 16-19, but we have recently become an EOTAS (Education other than as School) for younger pupils and we support young people who are NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training).
Additionally, our offer includes a programme funded by the National Citizen Service (NCS), which is co-delivered with Young People's Support Service and the much-respected CATCH apprenticeship facility. This gives local young people the opportunity to have practical taster days as an 'Intro to Industry', hoping to raise their aspirations and fill local engineering jobs and apprenticeships. The programme offers careers advice and practical employability coaching.
