To help young people develop the necessary skills, confidence and social behaviours to pursue opportunities for further education, training and employment.
This objective focuses on working with young people to develop the skills and confidence required to progress into further forms of education or employment, with a particular focus on marginalised young people, such as the long-term youth unemployed and young offenders.
