NEBP Programmes

Aims & Objectives

This is a day to help Year 9 students, aged 13/14, understand the longer-term
career and training implications of the important decisions they make when
choosing GCSE options. The day introduces students to the issues, encouraging
them to make informed, long-sighted decisions, with a greater awareness of
how these will affect their future plans. The day works most effectively when
scheduled to coincide closely with the time when these decisions are being
made, and the publication of the school’s options booklet.

Description of Activity

The NEBP recruits volunteer facilitators from the world of work and education.

This will typically include people from the NHS, the London Borough of Newham, universities and colleges of further education and a selection of private sector companies. This ensures that a good range of local employment sectors are represented. The seminars are backed up by theatre performances, which keep students engaged with the issues in an entertaining and informative way.

What we Need

If your business or organisation has a programme we could use at such an event
the NEBP is more than happy to listen to your offers. The NEBP is always on
the lookout for projects that will engage youngsters in learning more about
their options in working life.
