Answer
The formal interim evaluation of the Pathways to Success Strategy and the various approaches within this to dealing with the issue of young people not in education employment or training was received in April 2015. This overall evaluation includes six main strands of work including the Collaboration and Innovation Fund. The evaluation was undertaken by the Centre for Economic & Social Inclusion (CESI), a London based not-for-profit-company.
Once I have considered the evaluation and its implications for a broad range of youth interventions within my Department, the evaluation will be posted on the DEL web-site, and along with, in due course, a refresh of the current Pathways Strategy.
