The Trailblazer initiative aims to address economic inactivity and support NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) young people aged 18-21 years. Launched in the Get Britain Working white paper, the initiative received £240 million in funding to reform Jobcentre Plus and introduce 16 Trailblazers across the UK. Trailblazer focuses on enhancing local support systems, integrating existing work, health, and skills programmes into a holistic offer, and developing evidence-based strategies to support economically inactive individuals into work or learning.
NYY’s Role
The proposed programme will support 4 cohorts of 15 academically underachieving Year 10 students at four different secondary schools across York and North Yorkshire – 1 in the City of York and 3 in North Yorkshire.
The Youth Mentor role involves co-developing the programme with individual schools to:
- Support young people in engaging with the next stage of their lives to prevent them from becoming NEET
The overall aim of the programme is to provide youth mentoring and enrichment activities to build confidence, skills, and facilitate progression into work or training.
Interviews are scheduled for the week commencing 15th September 2025.
