Youth Contract£126M in England over 3 years to provide additional support for disengaged 16 -17 year olds to help them move into education, training or employment with training
Focus - young people who: are not in education, employment or training (NEET) have low levels of attainment – no GCSEs at A*-C have a range of factors that put them at risk of long-term
disengagement.
Programme: unit cost of up to £2,200 per young person up to 12 months in length defined outcomes designed in line with RPA and with a focus on
sustained engagement in education and training.
Overview No prescribed delivery models - ‘black box’ but clearly defined
expected outcomes for young people and use of a Payment by Results methodology to ensure a focus on achieving outcomes.
The ‘black box’ approach allows providers to deliver individually tailored packages of support to young people based on their individual needs.
Expectation of strong partnership working with local authorities to ensure that right young people are engaged.
12 Youth Contract areas across England: East Midlands; East of England; West Midlands; North East; Yorkshire and Humber; London North; London South; South West; Manchester and Cheshire; Merseyside/Lancashire/Cumbria; South East A and South East B.
