Watch LGC's webinar - A brighter future for NEETs

LGC’s FREE online webinar, in association with IBM, considers new approaches being carried out by councils in tackling the growing number of Neets - young people not in employment, education or training.

Issues to be considered include: early intervention, face-to-face help, vulnerable people and offenders, using data to target support efficiently, the impact of spending cuts, council powers, private-public sector partnerships.

This event will bring together some leading thinkers and practitioners to explore what more can be done at a local level to tackle the challenges.
