Coach Core

Coach Core uses the power of sport to change the lives of young people aged 16-24, who are not in education, employment or training (NEET).

We provided them with funding to continue their sports apprenticeship programme in Essex, which aims to equip young people with the skills, confidence and knowledge to gain employment.

Alongside tangible work experience, they also undertake certificates in Maths and English that gives them every chance of success once the programme finishes. Many of the apprentices are offered full-time work by their employers at the end of their course, and 92% of all apprentices are in work or education 6 months after graduating.
