Would You Be Interested in More Events for Electively Home Educated Young People?

We're exploring the possibility of running more events for Electively Home Educated (EHE) young people and would love to hear your thoughts.

Events would be held at New County Hall, Truro and Chy Trevail, Bodmin, both of which offer free parking and on-site cafés.

Activities could include:

Careers events with opportunities to speak to employers and careers advisers
LEGO robotics sessions
Interactive learning activities
Employability and skills workshops

These events would provide young people with opportunities to explore future pathways, develop new skills, and meet others in a friendly and supportive environment.

Would you be interested in attending? Please let us know in the comments.

What Happens After 16? EHE Families Came Together to Find Answers

More than 10 Electively Home Educated (EHE) families recently came together in Bodmin to explore the opportunities available after age 16.
The event gave young people and their families the chance to meet local colleges, ask questions and learn more about further education, training and career pathways. Support was also available from qualified careers advisers, helping young people explore ideas for their future and understand their next steps.

The feedback says it all:
"It's great that this option is now available for EHE young people. We feel heard and supported. Long may it continue." - Parent

"This has given me a chance to see what I can maybe do when I am 16. Thank you for this. Can you do it again?" - Young Person

Events like this are helping EHE families feel informed, supported and more confident about planning for the future.

With more opportunities already being planned, including workplace experiences with local employers, Shaping Futures is helping young people discover what's possible.

How do you support pupils who can't access traditional work experience?

This summer, 107 Year 10 pupils from Brannel, Poltair, Liskeard and Saltash schools took part in Passport to Work Experience, a programme designed to ensure no young person misses out on careers education because of barriers to a placement.

Through 46 employer-led sessions, pupils gained confidence, developed employability and STEM skills, and explored a wide range of career opportunities.

"I liked all of the workshops equally. If I'm honest, nothing can be done to make them better. They were awesome." - Pupil

Passport to Work Experience is helping young people build the skills, confidence and knowledge they need for their future.

Supporting young people to make positive choices for their future

Did you know that Your Future Kernow works with schools and post-16 providers across Cornwall to help young people who may be at risk of becoming NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training)?

Through early identification, one-to-one mentoring, group workshops and tailored interventions, the team helps young people explore their education, training and career options with confidence. Support is available for vulnerable learners, including young people with SEND, care experienced young people, young carers and those educated outside of mainstream schooling.

For schools and providers, Your Future Kernow offers additional support to strengthen careers education, improve transitions and help young people access the opportunities available to them.
