Education, employment and training

Employment education services - girl work experienceWith strong aspirations, young people can overcome the most difficult obstacles.

At Action for Children, we aim to help young people realise their potential:

Showing young people the possibilities

Our education services show young people the possibilities and their potential through:

  • Children's centres
  • Early years services, such as parenting classes
  • Support for those excluded from school or at risk of exclusion
  • Vocational training and work-based learning for 14-19 year olds
  • 5 schools for children and young people with challenging, complex and profound needs

Letting young people explore their options and decide for themselves

Our employment and training services give young people the chance to choose which route in life suits them best. We do this through:

  • Offering work tasters, placements, skills and job seeking workshops 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
