What a day! Yesterday's Study Programme Open Day brought so much energy and genuine interest from young people and families across the area.
Huge thanks to everyone who came down to the Workpays Derby centre to explore what the programme offers. Seeing so many young people asking questions, taking tours, and registering their interest told us everything we needed to know about the demand for this.
Just as important were the conversations with Derby City Council and local referral partners who are already thinking about how we can work together to support more young people into positive next steps.
The Derby Study Programme launches in September. If you missed yesterday’s event, but still want to find out more, register your interest below.
