The Youth Contract for 16-17 year olds not in education, employment or training evaluation (original) (raw)

An evaluation was commissioned by the Department for Education (DfE) to cover the period of YC operation between October 2012 and March 2014, although the national YC model will continue to recruit young people until 31 March 2015. The key aims of the evaluation were to identify the impact of the YC on the outcomes of the eligible NEET population, and the key lessons arising from design and delivery. In addition, it was tasked to assess value for money, in relation to costs and outcomes achieved, and to explore differences between the national model and the core city areas.
