Tackling NEETs in Yorkshire and the Humber: A Call to Action for Future Opportunities

The Yorkshire and the Humber 14-19 Challenge highlights the critical issue of NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) youth, with over 11,000 recorded in July 2007. This initiative outlines strategies to engage young people who left school without qualifications, dropped out of training, or are competing for unskilled jobs. Key actions include enhancing vocational pathways, increasing apprenticeship opportunities, and providing tailored support for vulnerable groups. Join us in creating a cohesive multi-agency approach to improve youth progression and reduce NEET rates in the region.
