London ESF Youth Programme overview:
LINKAGES OF STRANDS The London ESF Youth Programme has been designed as an integrated programme with mutually dependent strands of activity; many of the strands are closely linked. The diagram below illustrates the primary linkages between different elements of the youth programme. Providers delivering each strand are working with those delivering other strands where this is in the interests of young people.
Careers Guidance
Preventative NEET
targeted neet interventions /young Bame
NEET OUTreach
YOUTH TALENT
Career clusters
The London ESF Youth Programme is made up of the following strands.
The providers of this strand conduct the initial engagement of young people, ‘triage’ their needs and ensure referral onto the most relevant activity to secure young people’s continued participation in education, training or employment. Young people are expected to be referred from the NEET Outreach strand to other strands for the most appropriate activity. The strands that they could be referred to include Targeted NEET Provision, Young BAME, Careers Guidance, and Youth Talent programmes.
NEET OUTREACH The NEET Outreach strand locates young people who are aged 16-24 and NEET but not using Jobcentre Plus services and supports their planned progression into sustained education, training or employment. This independent and impartial service provides referrals to the other ESF youth programmes and also to a broad range of mainstream and specialist/targeted provision.
3
Providers take referrals and work collaboratively with other ESF programmes, including NEET Outreach, Targeted NEET Interventions, Young BAME and Youth Talent.
TARGETED NEET There are 4 strands which combine to create Targeted NEET Interventions, they are: 16-18 Targeted NEET, 16-24 LDD Targeted NEET, 18-24 NEET with mental health difficulties, drug / alcohol abuse or homeless, 18-24 NEET all for specific groups - migrants, care leavers, travellers, teenage parents and Work Programme leavers.
PREVENTATIVE NEET The Preventative NEET strand works with young people in learning who have been indicated as being ‘at risk’ of becoming NEET either by their learning institution or local authority. The key objective is to ensure that young people receive the support they need to remain in learning and make a successful transition into a positive further education, training or learning outcome.
As mentioned these strands take referrals from the NEET Outreach strand and provide a more substantial and intensive intervention for the young person and aim to address their barriers to full participation in education, training or employment.
YOUTH TALENT The Youth Talent strand promotes a ‘gateway’ for businesses to work with a range of providers who offer traineeships, work placements, internships, employment and apprenticeship opportunities for young people. Many of the other strands make referrals to this programme to access opportunities with employers.
Young people who are being supported by the Preventative NEET strand, but who fall out of EET into NEET, may be referred to this project if they meet the eligibility criteria. The Targeted NEET Interventions strand is also supported by the specialist services available through the Youth Talent and Careers Guidance programmes.
CAREERS CLUSTERS The Careers Clusters strand is made up of geographic or sector-based Careers Clusters whose aim is to improve the labour market relevance of education. Made up of secondary schools and FE colleges, each Careers Cluster develops and delivers a programme that will support cluster school and college leaders to design a high quality careers offer and a business informed curriculum. There is a close link with the Youth Talent strand as school and FE members of the careers clusters match and support young people into work placements and internships brokered by the Youth Talent strand.
YOUNG BAME The Young BAME strand provides targeted support to young people from particular ethnic minority groups disadvantaged in the labour market to enter work and apprenticeships. It interacts with other strands in a similar way as the Targeted NEET strands. CAREERS GUIDANCE The Careers Guidance strand provides face-toface careers guidance to young people who are not otherwise entitled to this service. The providers of this programme enable young people to articulate their goals, source the most suitable provision to support the achievement of their goals and take greater responsibility for progressing towards their goals.

Main features of the delivery model:
Project aim: To deliver a bespoke and innovative learning programme to address the needs of young people who are NEET aged 16-24 who have Learning Difficulties/Disabilities or Long Term Health problems to support them to move into education, employment or training. The programme consists of an Initial Assessment to establish levels of basic skills – literacy and numeracy - and also a Needs Analysis to address the learning difficulties/disabilities to identify the barriers that are preventing these young people from gaining employment, Apprenticeship or further learning. These inform the content of their individual learning plan to ensure that it is tailored to their specific needs and equip them with the knowledge and skills to enable them to progress. The programme consists of a combination of regulated and non-regulated learning, primarily to provide motivational and confidence building skills through an innovative delivery model and then move onto a more structured plan to provide employability skills and preparation for work. We also offer a music and production learning programme where basic skills are contextualised and embedded to maximise participation and retention through an interest in this sector, which is particularly attractive to young people. In addition, employer led qualifications are also on offer where it has been identified that the young person would benefit from these to increase their chances of or secure employment e.g. food safety in catering, health and safety, emergency first aid at work. We also seek to secure work placements to give the young person the experience of a real working environment. Structure: Initial Assessment Needs Analysis Taster sessions Motivation and confidence building Employability skills Units of qualifications – employability, customer service, retail Employer led qualifications – food safety in catering, health and safety in the workplace, emergency first aid at work Work experience 54
