The NEET Package

27 Jan 2011

The amount of young people Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET) is a large problem faced by educational institutions in the UK. The situation results in a waste of young people's potential and a severe lack in their contribution to society.

The Life Channel, a bespoke in-house communications network has recognised this problem and has developed The NEET Package to help tackle it.

Occupying a central position in schools throughout the UK, the positioning and educational nature of The Life Channel lends itself to addressing the UK's NEET issue. 

The package operates on three levels:

PREVENTION: Early intervention to Maximise Impact

Live in over 2000 Schools and Colleges throughout the UK, The Life Channel communicate directly with and offers support to those most at risk of becoming NEET.

Programmes are designed to engage young people, raise aspirations and provide guidance to this hard to reach audience.

 

INTERVENTION: Reaching the NEET population

In addition to broadcasting in Schools and Colleges, The Life Channel is live in other 5 000 community venues. These include GP surgeries and connexion centres around the UK. Working in connection with numerous other agencies, programmes are broadcast which target those classified as NEET, signposting them to agencies who can offer work placements, further education and general support.

 

RETENTION: Keeping those in Education from Becoming NEET

The Life Channel content is designed to target those at risk of becoming NEET. The channel identifies the issues which contribute to a drop in attendance or students leaving education all together. These issues are directly addressed through the channel and support is offered.
