The Youth Engagement Service/Integrated Settlement NEET is a service that will deliver targeted activity for young people who are NEET, at risk of becoming NEET, or not yet ready to access mainstream post-16 provision without additional preparation NEET prevention and reduction activity for Manchester residents aged 15-18.
The primary focus of this service is young people aged 16-18 who are NEET or at risk of disengagement, young people aged 15 who require earlier preventative support, and eligible young people up to age 25 where this relates to SEND with an Education, Health and Care Plan or Manchester Care Leavers. The service will support these young people to build confidence, readiness, skills and motivation; develop a clear destination plan; access high-quality information, advice and guidance; and move towards an appropriate EET outcome.
The service is a distinct targeted progression and re-engagement service which complements, but does not duplicate, the statutory NEET Prevention and Reduction Service (NPRS). The service will add capacity where young people require bespoke support, structured activity, employability development, mentoring, information, advice and guidance, or a staged pathway before they are able to enter or sustain an education, employment or training destination.
