MEaP

About

MEaP (Making Education a Priority) is a consortium of organistions focused on addressing barriers in education for Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities across Greater Manchester.

It provides additional educational support and safe spaces for young people to learn, offering revision support and tutoring, career guidance, skills development and opportunities to celebrate their cultural heritage and community involvement. MEaP also offers programmes specifically designed for 18-24 year olds who are not in education, employment or training (NEET).

Working with Youth Futures

As part of our Evidence into Action programme, the charity plans to pilot an on and off-the-job training programme for 16-24 year olds, strengthening and developing employer partnerships across the digital, technology and creative industries. This will be a new aspect to its work, linking expertise in education to the world of employment.
