What is E2E?  

E2E is a programme for school-leavers 16 to 18 years old not in employment, education or training It's a training designed to help young people develop all types of skills in the working environment skills, personal development, speaking and listening, interview techniques, social skills, team work and other learning relevant to the type of work you decide you want to be part of in the future. It provides training in level 2 Literacy and Numeracy (GCSE English and Maths) and also offers a L2 Health and Safety and First Aid qualification which is paid for by Bridges to Work.

JOSH

E2E helped me find a job. Through E2E, I got gained my Health & Safety qualification. In the near future I will also get an opportunity to gain a qualification in food hygiene; this will benefit me because my career path involves working with food. I have enjoyed everything at E2E. It is worthwhile going, however E2E would benefit if there were more course choices available and is the facilities were to a higher standard. 

SIMON

E2E helped me plan my future and inspires people to work, I got a placement in the building trade, achieved L2 Health & Safety training and the course offers up L2 numeracy and literacy. I enjoy meeting new people and working on group projects. E2E is worthwhile, gave me an income, and stopped being lazy. “There is nothing on this course I didn’t enjoy, it’s sound.”

GLORIA 

E2E is an opportunity to develop personal skills and learn to be more economically sufficient. E2E helped me decide what I want to do later on in life, to get to where I want to be next year. I did L1 Book-Keeping and furthered this by doing an ECDL course. The thing I like most about E2E is meeting new people; I would recommend E2E to others as I feel it’s very worthwhile. I feel E2E could be improved by keeping control over the EMA payments, as the payments are often late or didn’t come at all. “E2E was really helpful.” 

RIANNE 

E2E is a programme that helps develop your skills, outlook on work and also gaining qualifications needed in job situations. I achieved both L2 Health & Safety and also passed a First Aid training course, it also helped me find a work placement in the area of work I wished to pursue in later life. I enjoy all aspects of work within E2E, especially when an active approach is taken. E2E would benefit from more activities outside the classroom. “It has been an amazing experience.” 

 ROBERT

E2E helps to get you a job and qualifications needed in job situations, E2E got me a work placement, put me through a Health & Safety training course, and in the future I will be doing both a Food Hygiene and a First Aid course. I enjoy my time at E2E I have made new friends and I like using the computers to find out information. I think E2E could be improved by having better facilities.  

CONNOR 

E2E is a social club it gives you a small income. I have gained qualifications in both First Aid and Health & Safety. I have enjoyed my time at E2E especially meeting new people. I didn’t enjoy losing my EMA payment due to my behaviour. E2E could be improved by giving out a larger amount of EMA, and also better access to higher qualifications. 

 ERYN 

E2E is a place of learning; through the E2E course I have achieved qualifications in both Health & Safety and First Aid. They have also got me a work placement at the Birds Of Prey Centre. I enjoy seeing my friends’ everyday at E2E and having a laugh, the thing I don’t like about E2E is the lecturing from the tutor as it can become very boring. It could be improved by having more day trips. 

 CHRIS                                                                               

E2E encouraged me to get out of the house and it keeps me motivated. E2E has improved both my social and numeracy skills. I have also gained a qualification in Health & Safety. I have enjoyed my time at E2E. I think the course is very worthwhile as you get to meet new people and also to get useful qualifications needed in job situations.

KATIE

E2E is a learning environment, you gain skills which help you to get a job or promote you into further education. I have gained a qualification in Health & Safety and also in Food Hygiene. I have enjoyed meeting new people and partaking in the group activities. It could be improved by having better facilities and more out of class activities. It’s worthwhile because it boosts your confidence and self esteem and you can gain qualifications whilst there.

 J.J. 

Since I joined E2E it has helped me to gain better qualifications and a week end job which I got through my placement. I am moving on soon to a new course being run in Scotland which will give me full time work experience which gives me a wage.
