Caerphilly Youth Service is proud to highlight its ongoing work supporting young people across the county brough through a dynamic mix of education and training. The delivery of the Youth Engagement and Progression Framework (YEPF), a Welsh Government strategy, has reduced the number of young people not in education, employment or training.
Caerphilly Youth Service works in close partnership with Careers Wales, local training providers and local colleges to offer robust post-16 pathways through Jobs Growth Wales Plus (JGW+) and other tailored programmes. This includes working with young people requiring support into an appropriate education, training or employment opportunity on completion of their education at school or alternative provision.
The youth service in partnership with Careers Wales offers bespoke support, career guidance, and life skills to young people who are currently disengaged supported through HPAD (High Priority Area Delivery) funding. To showcase the voices and aspirations of young people, Caerphilly Youth Service hosted a media session with local TV, radio and press to highlight the success of young people who have accessed the service.
Councillor Carol Andrews, Youth Champion for Caerphilly County Borough Council, commented: “The Council remains committed to supporting our young people in reaching their full potential.
“The success of Caerphilly Youth Service, in partnership with local organisations, demonstrates how we can make a real difference in young people’s lives”. Youth Service Manager, Paul O’Neill, commented: “Caerphilly Youth Service is proud to be at the forefront of supporting young people in making successful transitions into adulthood, work, and further education by working with partners across Wales.”
