Education Services

Our education services show young people the possibilities. We do this through:

  • children's centres and other early years services, such as parenting classes
  • alternative provision for young people excluded from school or at risk of exclusion
  • vocational training and work-based learning for 14-19 year olds
  • Five special schools for children and young people with challenging, complex and profound needs

Employment and Training Services

Young people explore their options, deciding for themselves which route suits them best. We do this through:

  • Offering work tasters, work experience placements, employability skills and job seeking workshops with our corporate partners through our Employability Programme
  • Providing internship opportunities supported by the Future Jobs Fund
  • Giving young people learning and employment opportunities through our Youth Work Apprenticeships

Young People Success

  • 71% of all 16-18 year olds engaged with our Corner House Services are in education, employment or training
  • 85% of children and young people engaged with our Exeter Family Intervention Service are linked into education and employment
