1. Entry to Employment (E2E) is provision below Level 2 on the 16-18 learner responsive funding route. It is aimed at young people who are not yet ready or able to access a Level 2 learning programme, Apprenticeship or employment, and aims to enable them to progress into employment with training, or onto further learning programmes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

2. The curriculum structure comprises three interdependent core strands: basic and key skills, vocational skills and development, and personal and social development. Learners on E2E have the opportunity to gain qualifications up to and including Level 1 of the National Qualifications Framework, or other qualifications where appropriate.

3. The E2E Passport was developed in partnership with Connexions, providers and the Adult Learning Inspectorate, and has been designed to facilitate the referral, initial assessment, planning and review of learners and programmes on E2E. It is compulsory for all E2E learners.

4. E2E will be gradually replaced by Progression Pathways by 2010/2011.
