In 2019, the Careers Guidance team at Skills Jersey began tracking the destination of Jersey young people as they reached the end of compulsory education .  This was enabled by bringing together Trident, Careers Guidance and Skills Coaching teams under one service.  By working with the CYPES Informatics team, any students identified as not having a destination past October are contacted by a Careers Guidance advisor to identify whether they are in employment, education or training.  Support is then offered where applicable.

The % of those young people identified as NEET or with an unknown destination has dropped steadily over the past three years, now sitting at only 4.2% compared to 8% in 2019.  As the team responsible for contacting young people to discover their destinations, Skills Jersey has also increased the support services delivered in partnership with schools and colleges that are proven to increase positive destinations:
•    Career Guidance
•    Employer insights and contact
•    121 coaching and mentoring

In 2021 90% of year 11 students in Jersey received 121 careers guidance appointments.  In 2016 only 45% of year 11s were able to access this provision.  For those needing a longer-term support, the coaching and mentoring provision of Skills Jersey was created with 77% of those accessing this service acquiring a positive destination.   

Finally, since 2020 Skills Jersey has supported 100% of Jersey's secondary schools and colleges to access direct employer contact or insights on an individual or group basis to help students link the education they are receiving to the world of work.  

In 2022, Skills Jersey will widen the access to the services available to develop positive destinations by creating a single online referral process that can be accessed by all.
