NEET Prevention & Reduction Service

Manchester City Council is seeking an integrated service to prevent and reduce the number of young people classified as NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training), with support for ages 13-25 including care leavers and those with Education, Health and Care Plans. The service will use a preventative, intelligence-led model with referral and signposting to specialist services.

You'll want to look if you deliver holistic support and guidance services to young people at risk of disengagement, and can work with vulnerable cohorts including care leavers and those with EHCPs.

Career Connect won an Integrated Settlement NEET Contract from Manchester City Council in February 2026. Inferred from prior awards to this buyer, not confirmed.
