January 2010

Happy New Year! 2010 promises great things, starting with the January Guarantee for all young people NEET (go to Choice for all January courses), plus the rollout of the National IAG Strategy, the statutory requirement on schools for careers education, the full development of integrated youth services, and local authority commissioning of post provision. We’ll be busy and productive! And we start the year with just over 1900 young people NEET - lower than ever before!

Best wishes,

Chris

Chief Executive
