Details

DurhamWorks was a partnership programme led by Durham County Council, which aimed to break down barriers to work and build employability skills for young people. The programme targeted 16 to 24 year olds who were not in education, employment or training (NEET) in County Durham.

This report presents estimates of the impact of the DurhamWorks programme on the employment and education outcomes of the programme participants.

The Employment Data Lab is a service provided by a team of analysts at the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). The Data Lab provides group-level benefits and employment information to organisations who have worked with people to help them into employment. The purpose is to provide these organisations with information to help them understand the impact of their programmes.

We have also published Durham County Council’s response to this report.
