Region Portfolio: National Support Project Wales

ECOTEC has been commissioned by the Basic Skills Agency to run the Technical Assistance Unit for the National Support Project for Young People in Wales. The project aims to:

 

  • Promote, support and monitor the implementation of the PLUS Strategy across the 14 -19 age range in identified areas of Wales.
  • Become a National Supporter whose role will be to support the BSA in delivering the following objectives for young people between the ages of 14 and 19.
  • Attract young people, specifically those with poor basic skills, back into learning programmes that will help them improve these crucial skills.
  • Encourage the development of flexible, tailored provision that will motivate and engage young people and help raise their attainment.
  • Investigate additional innovative ways of engaging this target group.

 

As the TA Unit, ECOTEC’s role is to:

 

  • Work with Careers Wales to identify best practice in assessment and to help develop better-tailored progression opportunities with appropriate personal support structures.
  • Ensure that work undertaken by the National Support Project links up with Cymorth funded projects wherever appropriate.
  • Work with providers to help them reach the standard required by the Quality Mark.

 

Produce tailored dissemination products.
