Premier League Inspires

Premier League Inspires is a secondary education and training programme that supports children and young people who are at risk of not achieving their full potential, as they move through the education system and early adulthood.

Why the project is needed?

26% of young people who do not achieve GCSEs can spend 6-12 months not in education employment or training.

How did we help?

We provided tailored support to develop soft skills, such as managing difficult situations, working as a team and resilience.

What are the results?

71% of participants told us that they understood how to access future employment opportunities.
