A four-year study that gathered the experiences and perspectives of young people in government-funded Youth Guarantee Fees Free training programmes and their education providers, and whether it contributes to sustainable outcomes.
As the project developed it became apparent that Youth Guarantee Fees Free is just one of the many experiences which influence young peoples’ transitions and pathways to and from education and employment. It had a significant positive impact on the lives of most participants during their engagement with the programme; however, its ongoing impact varies according to the wider context of each individual transition that a young person makes.
