e2e - Pathways to Your Future

If you are aged 16 - 18 years, you live in England and are not participating in any form of post-16 learning, you can be admitted to e2e if that is an appropriate option which will enable you to progress to an apprenticeship, further learning or a job.

You will be expected to undertake learning in three interdependent core areas: basic and key skills, vocational development, and personal and social development.

Although e2e is not time-bound, it is based on the needs of each individual. You may need relatively short periods of time to prepare for entry to an Apprenticeship, employment, or further vocational learning opportunities. If you have more complex personal and social needs you may require much longer periods before you are ready to enter and sustain suitable training and employment.

Attendance should normally be 30 hours a week, for a minimum of 10 weeks. Learners may start by attending for 16 hours a week, but must build this up to 30 hours as soon as possible.

Attendance will vary from 16 hours up to 40 hours a week but this will depend on your learning capacity, aspirations, needs and progression choices.

Learners taking part in e2e programmes can apply for an Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA). Since 30th June 2008 all eligible learners taking an LSC funded e2e programme are entitled to the maximum EMA (Education Maintenance Allowance) of £30 a week regardless of their household income.

We can help you find the Progression Pathway that's right for you. We can help you to:

  • Kick start your career in IT, Retail, Customer Service, Hairdressing, Sports, Carework, Construction, Motor Vehicle and many more
  • Find work experience that's right for you
  • Improve your Maths and English skills
  • Apply for jobs and prepare a CV
  • Move into an Apprenticeship
  • Get qualifications
  • Improve your interview skills

You will receive the maximum £30 per week Educational Maintenance Allowance (EMA) payment regardless of your household income.
