e2e
e2e is the exciting pre-apprenticeship programme tailored to suit the needs of young people. It is a programme that was introduced in 2003 and aims to help young people who are not yet ready, or able, to directly enter employment or an Apprenticeship.
NLTG offers every person the best possible support in order to assist them in laying the foundations for the rest of their life. e2e offers an initial induction and assessment period followed by sessions in: job club, hairdressing, retail, business administration, construction, communication skills, first aid, physical activities, food hygiene, telephone techniques, literacy and numeracy embedded through snooker, motivation, team work, decision making, time management and many more.
e2e learners have the opportunity to use NLTG's state of the art Centre of Vocational Excellence in order to gain skills in furniture production. They will also have the opportunity to study and gain their CSCS card to enable them to work on a construction site.
The objective of e2e is to place young people into employment, Apprenticeships or further education. Once NLTG have established that the young person is ‘work ready', they will use one of its 3000+ companies to place the young person either to try out a particular trade or for full time employment.
The young person will be supported throughout the training by their personal key worker who will guide them towards full time employment with an NVQ qualification and, thereafter, a possible Apprenticeship.
We have e2e centres in Accrington, Oldham, Preston, Fleetwood and Blackpool.
