Speaking Out Briefing No. 26: Education, employment and training: support from the sectorThis report is the outcome of a joint event held by the National Council for Voluntary Youth Services (NCVYS) and the Local Government Association (LGA) on March 18, 2010 to explore the involvement of voluntary and community sector agencies in the LGA’s Hidden Talents programme.
Hidden Talents is the personal programme of Dame Margaret Eaton, the Chairman of the LGA, to challenge local authorities and their partners to come up with new and long lasting policy solutions to engage all young people in learning, earning, caring or volunteering.
The event invited senior representatives of some of the largest voluntary sector providers of learning opportunities to offer their insights into the sector’s role. The NCVYS network includes a wide range of providers of services to children and young people, and at the event were experts from the field, including those with knowledge of volunteering, developing skills, working in deprived communities, re-engaging young people in learning and children with learning disabilities.
