International Youth Day is an opportunity to recognise both the potential of young people and the shared challenges they face around the world, including access to education, skills and employment.

The UK continues to face these challenges too, particularly for young people who are not currently in education, employment or training (NEET).

At EBCF, we are committed to helping young people develop the skills and confidence they need to move forward.

During the 2025–26 academic year, 16% of total learners on our courses were categorised as NEET, reflecting our ongoing work to create accessible pathways back into learning, training and employment.

58% progressed into employment with an additional 17% accessing higher education.

If you are aged 19–25 and not in education or employment, we have a range of FREE courses that can help you develop new skills and take your next step.

As part of our Employability Programme, our Warehousing and ESOL learners enjoyed an insightful visit to the John Lewis warehouse at Cranbrook Way.

Learners explored how a large-scale warehouse operates and gained insight into how different teams work together to manage its day-to-day operations. They also learnt about manual handling and workplace safety, while gaining valuable knowledge of a real working environment.

Experiences like this help our learners develop their communication skills, workplace awareness and, most importantly, the confidence to step into the world of work.

A huge thank you to the John Lewis team for the warm welcome and for making this such an engaging and valuable experience!
