The House of Commons Library states that:

A total of 975,000 people aged 16-24 were NEET in the first quarter of 2014, 13.5% of people in this age group.  Not all unemployed 16-24 year olds are NEET and not all people who are NEET are  unemployed. 58% of unemployed 16-24 year olds are NEET, the remaining 42% are in  education or training. 52% of people who are NEET are unemployed, the rest are  economically inactive: not seeking work and/or not available to start work.

In England, the North East, West Midlands, and the North West have the highest proportion  of 16-24 year olds who are NEET. Those eligible for free school meals, those who have been excluded or suspended from  school, those with their own child and those who have a disability are more likely to be  NEET. From the first quarter of 2007 to the first quarter of 2011, the NEET rate increased in all  OECD countries except Austria, the Czech Republic, Portugal, Sweden and Turkey.

Current Government schemes with elements aimed at reducing the number of young people  who are NEET include: raising the participation age, the Youth Contract and the Work  Programme.

In Essex the number of individuals who are NEET aged 16-24 years old stands at 2,237 16-19 year olds (end of Jan 2014). In Colchester its 300 16-19 year olds.

Go4 Enterprises aim is to help as many of these individuals as possible to get back into education, training and employment as possible. if you’d like to support us in our mission then please get in touch via our contact page.

Read More]]> GO4 Enterprises is a recently formed Community Interest Company, based in Colchester, Essex.

A group of local Christians have joined together to respond to the growing unemployment rate amongst young people, particularly from those with a disadvantaged background.

Our aims are to provide training, work and ongoing support to young people unable to get employment.

We also wish to encourage a culture of enterprise amongst the young people we will be engaging with, exploring their interests and ideas and assisting them in making their ideas happen, through the establishment of a portfolio of GO4 services and businesses that reflect their ambitions, goals and dreams.
