The successful organisation will ensure that the young people participating will have a positive experience and help them move into a positive outcome in the future, such as accessing mainstream education, Further Education, Training/Traineeship, Apprenticeship or signposted to further support.

The successful organisation will also have mechanisms in place to collate feedback, participant journey, outcomes and learning to transfer into an end of pilot report that will help inform future opportunities for our young people.
