Worried about your next steps? Help is available

The EET team support young people who are not in education, employment or training, through direct support, phone calls and meetings. This website Oxme.info is a resource managed by the EET team. It has lots of information and guidance for any young person in Oxfordshire.

If you're aged 16+ and not sure of your next steps you can register with oxme.

We are not a mental wellbeing service, but studies have shown participation in suitable learning supports mental wellbeing. Staying in learning, gaining suitable qualifications, progressing successfully to employment and continuing with training after you start work all improve mental wellbeing.

Find out more about staying in learning and progressing to your first job on oxme.info
