Young people who are Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET)

Last Updated - August 21, 2023

Young people who are Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET)

We are committed to reducing the number of young people who are not in any form of education, employment or training (NEET). These young people may face multiple barriers to their participation and need a different type of support.

They may already receive support from local services, but need a package of help aimed specifically at returning to work or learning.

We are required to keep in regular contact with young people, until they are 19-years-old, to offer support to help them get into education, training or work. This means that from time to time we will contact you, just to check things are going well.

Careers guidance support for young people who are NEET

16 to 18-year-olds

If you are a young person who is aged 16 to 18 and are not currently in any form of education, employment or training or you have recently dropped out of school, college or another training programme you can get free independent careers guidance and support from CSW Group.

Aged 19 and older

If you are aged 19 or over and are not currently in education, employment or training, you can get free independent careers guidance and support from the National Careers Service.

There are lots of places you can go to for information and advice about getting into education, employment and training.

Student services at your local sixth form or college

They can give you information and advice on a wide range of subjects including education and training options, careers, finance, transport, accommodation, childcare and additional support.

Jobcentre Plus

At your local Jobcentre you can find out about jobs in your area or get help and support applying for work. Find your local Jobcentre.

If you have a disability, you can also get help at the Jobcentre from a disability employment adviser.
