Intro

I understand that a referral does not mean that I am guaranteed a place on the programme.

I have been given/had a look at information about the programme and what is involved

I have checked I meet the eligibility criteria.

I understand that the programme is running as a Randomised Control Trial (RCT), and once registered, young people have a 50% chance of receiving a paid work placement, as long as there are placements available.
