YMCA England & Wales today launch their second innovative digital platform, created by Trust Impact, where local authorities and members of the public can access a live picture of young people engaged in training and education in their area, right now.
As well as identifying the live number of learners broken down by category – including everything from apprenticeships to life skills courses – the dashboard also details the number of learners who have moved on to secure jobs and further education, as well as a link to participating YMCAs and the training and education opportunities available.
Following a similar format to the live impact Housing dashboard launched last year, this latest Training and Education instalment has been developed further to include a ‘heat map’ showing the concentration and location of learners. A link to the Index of Multiple Deprivation also provides insight into the level of learning support offered to those in more deprived areas.
