Access, Progress to Success (AP2S) Training

About the Access, Progress to Success (AP2S) project

Access, Progress to Success (AP2S) Training from MEaP (Making Education a Priority) is a program designed to boost employability and social mobility for young people, especially from disadvantaged backgrounds, by embedding career development, work experience, and cultural heritage awareness into education, helping them gain skills for skilled jobs and future success. It focuses on practical learning, linking local community with global networks, and creating inclusive career journeys for students, often through supplementary schooling and alternative provision. This project supports young unemployed people, more specifically NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training).

Key aspects of the Access, Progress to Success (AP2S) Training Programme

• Holistic Learning: Develops knowledge, experience, skills, behaviors, and mindset for career aspirations.
• Integrated Employability: Embeds career development and work-like experiences directly into the curriculum.
• Cultural Heritage Focus: Uses ancestral and local heritage to give students practical advantages.
• Community & Labour Market Links: Builds experience in local environments and connects students to the wider labour market and global networks.

In essence, AP2S is about making education a practical pathway to employment and personal success, leveraging cultural identity and real-world experience.
