Welcome to the
January 2009

Happy New Year!

Welcome to the first CLC bulletin of 2009, full of even more opportunities for young people and those who support them.
 
More good news for young people – while Not Known levels for England increased in 2008 by 12%, they decreased by 10% in London, while levels of young people NEET increased by 0.8% in England overall, they decreased by 11% in London. We now have 2100 young people NEET in Central London, the lowest ever, and the levels of young people in learning were 83% (78% for England). 

Just a few of the things coming in 2009 are:

  • The next batch of Diplomas
  • Far more apprenticeships
  • The national apprenticeships matching service (see the Opportunities for young people section)
  • Fast-tracking to New Deal for young people NEET 3 months before their 18th birthday
  • LOIS morphing into Choice Jobs
  • National training for team leaders and managers
  • Foundation Diplomas for PAs

Well done, and have a great 2009! Best wishes, Chris Heaume, Chief Executive, CLC
