Call to run a project to support young people to improve the transition from education to work and within the labour market in the North East Region LEP area.

This call is now closed. Please do not submit an application for this call. The information provided on this page is for reference purposes only.

Details

ESF investment through this call is focussed on providing support to increase employment for young people aged 16-24 who are unemployed and claim out-of-work benefits, claiming other benefits that would classify them as economically inactive or who are workless and not claiming any benefit. Additionally, projects can also target some specific cohorts of 15-year olds such as those ‘at risk of NEET’ and those ‘in care’.

Projects responding to this call should deliver activities in either or in both of the categories of region areas of More Developed and Transition areas.

Please note - For the Transition area only - current YEI provision delivers NEET activity up to June 2021, therefore applicants will need to take account of this and not include any NEET activity in the Transition area before July 2021.

The More Developed (MD) area covers the local authority districts of Northumberland, North Tyneside, Newcastle, Gateshead, South Tyneside and Sunderland.

The Transitional (T) area is County Durham.

Please note: The North East Technical Assistance Partnership is available to provide support to potential applicants.

Applications are encouraged from consortia or other similar types of partnership arrangements.
