Education Business Partnership - YEP!

The Yep! programme is for young people aged 16 to 24 years living in Cornwall who are not in education, employment or training (NEET), or are at risk of NEET. This includes those who may have special educational needs or are in other vulnerable groups.

We are one of eleven project partners. We are working together to help young people improve their confidence and resilience in relation to their readiness for work.

Yep! is a staged programme. It starts with an assessment of the young person’s individual circumstances and needs. The offer is based on their readiness for the labour market - the greater the need /distance, the more intensive the support.

If you are interested in learning more, or would like to refer yourself or a young person that you think would benefit from Yep! please visit the website. Yep!

The project is part-funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

Cornwall Council has been chosen by the UK Government as a Lead Authority for the fund. We are responsible for monitoring the progress of projects funded through the Fund in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

The UK Shared Prosperity Fund is part of the UK Government’s Levelling Up agenda and provides £2.6 billion of funding for local investment by March 2025. The Fund aims to improve pride in place, and increase life chances across the UK by investing in:

• communities and place
• supporting local business, and
• people and skills
