LDA Youth Fund

The London Youth Apprenticeships programme objectives are to help young people who are furthest removed from education, training or the labour market and help them to access the support they need to progress their skills through training courses and activities. These courses are designed to give them skills that employers will find attractive and help them to go on to enter either employment, an apprenticeship, education or training.

South London Business work with a number of partners who provide the courses and activities including London Business Development Corperation, Emmanuel Youth Project, Golden Opportunity Youth Association, GOALS UK, 2XL, Shape and Soloman. All of these organisations have outstanding records of working with young people in the target groups.

The programme is designed to provide specialist assistance and support to young people aged 15 to 19 years of age who are classified as ‘Not in Education, Employment or Training' (NEETs).*
