With young people’s attitudes to education and employment formed at an early age by family role models, social business CXL has launched an innovative pilot in the Shadsworth and Whitebirk areas of Blackburn, which aims to break the unemployment cycle that can exist in families, leading to young people becoming NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training).
Blackpool South MP Gordon Marsden dropped in on a seminar showcasing an online careers package that’s been developed to identify and support students who are at risk of dropping out of college.
