Elevate Me Wokingham - Advice and support on employment, training and education
The Wokingham Elevate service provides information, advice and guidance to 16 - 18 year olds in Wokingham, who are not in education, employment or training (and young people aged up to 25 with SEND). This can sometimes be referred to as NEET.
We can help you look for the right training, education, apprenticeships or work experience placement and support you with the job application process.
