e2e - Entry to employment

E2E is a learning programme, which aims to help young people who are not ready or able to go directly into Apprenticeship programmes, further education or employment.

Young people aged 16-18, who are not in any post-16 learning are eligible for the scheme. E2E is an individual programme that lasts as long as you need it, to help you move into further education, a job, a place on an Apprenticeship or another type of work based learning programme.

New E2E arrangements for school leavers in 2008

All E2E learners starting a programme of study on or after 30 June 2008 will receive the maximum £30 weekly EMA (Education Maintenance Allowance) payment, regardless of their household income.

This is intended to encourage young people not in education, employment or training to enter training and eventually progress onto other provision. It will ensure that financial support is not a barrier to young people wishing to enter training. The extension will be available to learners aged 16 to 18 who enrol on LSC funded E2E programmes.

Learners who progress from E2E onto other programmes will be reassessed for EMA according to their Household Income; they will not automatically carry the £30 eligibility onto other programmes, such as Further Education or Work-Based Learning. Furthermore, an E2E learner receiving £30 EMA will not automatically be eligible for the EMA Guarantee or the Higher Education Student Support guarantee.
