CYNNYDD PROJECT
End of Coleg Sir Gar Cynnydd Operation Results
Project delivery terminated on 30 th November 2022 with project administration continuing until 28 th February 2023. The aim of the project was to reduce the risk of NEET (not in employment, education or training) amongst young people aged between 11-24.
Coleg Sir Gar’s profiled number of participants to the end of project closure was 724 – we have successfully claimed and worked with 72 participants across 5 campuses since the project began in late 2016. 659 of those claimed have successfully achieved their college qualifications with the help of their Cynnydd Support Worker. 649 (89.52%) were at reduced risk of becoming NEET when their support with Cynnydd ended.
For Coleg Sir Gar, the Cynnydd project has been an astonishing success and we would like to wish all participants the very best of luck with their future endeavours.
