Description
Purpose
To support young people and their families to make informed post-16 decisions by increasing awareness of pathways and opportunities, strengthening
parental confidence, and reducing the risk of young people becoming Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET).
Our Delivery Model
Delivery will be aligned with National Apprenticeship Week (9-15 February) and National Careers Week (2-7 March) to maximise relevance, visibility and
engagement. Sessions will be delivered flexibly, including evenings, weekends and holiday periods, to ensure accessibility for families and working parents.
Our approach is structured around three complementary strands designed to engage all key influences on young people's decision-making:
1. Open Access - inclusive activities available to all families across York and North Yorkshire to encourage broad participation and shared understanding
2. Targeted Access - focused support for young people and families at greater risk of disengagement or becoming NEET
3. Staff Access - professional development for teaching and support staff to strengthen informed, consistent careers conversations across the school
community
Together, this three-strand model ensures that families, school staff and the wider community are aligned in supporting aspiration, informed choice and
successful post-16 transitions
