Since 2004 the government has set annual targets for the reduction of Not in Education Employment or Training (N.E.E.T) among 16 and 17 years olds. In 2008 the government published a document outlining various steps to be taken by local authorities and their partners to reduce N.E.E.T. The aim is to help young people stay in post-16 learning (including jobs with training), firstly in providing guidance and support for young people, and secondly, in providing fast and effective support back into learning.
