Catch22 Essex Entry to Employment
Some young people find themselves out of the education system at an early age and, with no qualifications, it is difficult to get a job. Essex Entry to Employment service provides education and training for young people aged between 16 and 18 who are not in employment, education or training. Each year we offer 60 young people a supportive and creative setting where they can study up to six courses. This helps them gain qualifications, build life skills and encourages positive choices.
Young people who are referred to the service attend an introductory day, where we work with them to find out what they need to move forward. Then we devise a flexible programme of activities for up to 22 weeks, with a minimum attendance time of 16 hours a week.
The young people gain accreditations in:
- Numeracy and Literacy level 1
- NCFE Airport Skills (Customer services)
- OCN Employability
- CLAIT (OCR IT course)
- First Aid
- Food Hygiene
The young people usually stay actively involved with our project for an average of 26 weeks. And we achieve above the national average for the amount of young people who go into work for over six weeks.
