e2e

Open Days

We will be holding open days on 27th, 28th, 29 and 30th of May from 10.00am until 4.00pm. Come along and speak to our trainers about the programmes we run and the opportunities that are available across the e2e and Apprenticeship programmes. We can offer information, advice and guidance on finding a career.

e2e

e2e is a development programme for 16–18 year olds who are not currently training or employed. The programme aims to develop the skills they need to find the right job and make the most of their potential. Each e2e programme combines advice and guidance, learning, qualifications and work placements in a package tailored to the individual learner's needs.

Advice and guidance

Young people leaving school are often unsure about what they want to do next. e2e provides a high level of support, advice and guidance. Learners can develop vocational skills and find out about the employment opportunities available to them.

Learning and qualifications

e2e learners work on basic and key skills, personal and social development and vocational skills. They can achieve IT qualifications, health and safety, First Aid certificates and NVQs. From here they can progress to Apprenticeships or Further Education.

Work placements

Most learners have very little or no work experience and may be confused about a future career path. e2e gives learners the opportunity to try out different types of work on short-term placements. This allows the learner to make an informed decision about the right career direction for them.
