Sarah Hammond - Schools Liaison Officer
Colchester Institute
Many young people within the wards covered by ECCUP do not see progression into Further and then onto Higher Education as an option for them.
Whilst they certainly have the ability, sometimes their understanding of the options open to them is very limited.
Working with Sarah and Jess we can offer students the opportunity to be involved in activities designed to show them the possibilities open to them at 16 and 18 to continue their study and also raise awareness of the employment opportunities.
