Education, Employment and Training Coaches
An Education, Employment and Training (EET) Coach provides one-to-one support for young people aged 16–20, who are not in education, employment or training.
How can an Education, Employment and Training (EET) Coach help me?
An Education, Employment and Training (EET) Coach offers friendly information, advice and tailored support to help you move forward. We will work with you to create a personalised plan to identify and achieve your goals at a pace that suits you. Meetings can take place via video call on Microsoft Teams or by telephone.
EET Coaches can help you:
- Identify your strengths and explore your options
- Build your skills through courses, work experience or volunteering opportunities
- Explore further education or training options
- Create or update your CV
- Search for jobs and apprenticeships
- Complete application forms for jobs or courses
- Practise and improve your interview techniques
- Connect with other support services if you need additional help
By the end of our journey together, our goal is that you will feel confident, independent, and ready for your future.
Education, Employment and Training Researchers
Starting at 16, an Education, Employment and Training (EET) Researcher will contact you to ask about your plans for the following September and to see if you would like support from an Education, Employment and Training (EET) Coach.
Our EET Researchers help us stay in touch with young people as they transition from school. The purpose is to understand a student's current education and/or employment status and offer help if needed.
EET Researchers may get in touch by:
- Text message
- Phone call
- Letter
If we cannot reach you through these methods, we may arrange a home visit to check in and confirm your situation.
For more information about why we may need to contact you, visit the participation of young people: education, employment and training page on GOV.UK
