Prospects - Shaw Trust Midlands

Prospects (part of Shaw Trust Midlands) provides the careers service for Northamptonshire, making sure young people who are Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET) can access the guidance and support they need to progress. Young Northamptonshire residents who are NEET are eligible for the service for two years after completing Year 11. Young people with an EHC Plan can access the service to age 25 and those leaving care to age 25. Prospects help young people to make the right choices to move into further learning or employment.
