Carmarthenshire project to help 12,000
A new project is set to benefit over 12,000 young people across Carmarthenshire county.
Engage, a Convergence funded South West Wales partnership project, will work with young people facing difficulties such as underachievement and young people in college who are at risk of dropping out.
Delivery of the project will begin in the New Year and will run until December 2012.
In Carmarthenshire, the project (including partner match funding) is worth nearly £6m and will be delivered via a range of County Council departments, the Youth Offending Service and Coleg Sir Gâr, with the opportunity for partner organisations to tender for other parts of the project.
Councillor Gwynne Wooldridge, Executive Board Member for Children and Education Services said:“Engage will provide alternative curricula and innovative training approaches to motivate and boost the confidence of students who are disaffected from school.
"The delivery of the Engage Project will be tailored to the needs of each individual through a range of techniques; including vocational training, community based activities, emotional support, extended work experience and mentoring.”
