Future Me is a programme in West Sussex which provided personalised careers guidance for Year 11 students who were identified as at risk of becoming NEET before they left school. The aim of the project was to target potential NEETs through early intervention by:
Raising aspirations and increasing knowledge of local opportunities
Ensuring young people were aware of their skills, qualities, and the related careers paths
Future Me was free to schools, offering sustained support to these young people over Year 11 and after they have left school if needed. Year 11 students benefitted from taking away a personalised career summary sheet with clear actions, additional resources, plus follow-up sessions and a link to an impartial careers adviser throughout their transition to post-16 education or training.
Details of the Future Me offer will be provided to schools in September 2025, and we would really like your feedback as Careers Leaders.
Our Careers Advisers can provide information, advice, guidance and support to young people Post-16 (school leavers) living in West Sussex and are NOT in education, employment or training (NEET). We may also be able to help if a young person is working or studying part-time (less than 16 hours). We can support a young person who has previously been on an EHCP up to the age of 25.
We can help young people to think about next steps, recognise your skills, strengths and ambitions and find out about local opportunities. If we are unable to support the young person, then we will sign post to an appropriate service.
