    Brief

    West Yorkshire Combined Authority is seeking a provider to deliver the Aspiring Pathways Project, a nationally funded programme offering work experience opportunities to young people attending Alternative Provision (AP) settings across West Yorkshire. The successful provider will work with 11 participating AP settings to create flexible, inclusive pathways into employment, with particular focus on young people facing additional barriers to progression. Key responsibilities include: delivering workplace-readiness preparation and confidence-building activities for young people not yet ready for direct work experience; tailoring support to individual needs and starting points; implementing the Careers & Enterprise Company's Equalex framework; building strong partnerships with AP settings and local employers; and creating meaningful, progressive work experience opportunities. The approach should recognise that participants have diverse readiness levels and require sustained support to develop skills and experience over time. A pre-market engagement event will be held via Microsoft Teams on Wednesday 21st October, 10:00am-11:00am, where the Combined Authority's Careers & Education Team and Commercial Team will outline requirements, explain the procurement process, and answer questions from prospective bidders. Interested organisations should register via the provided link.
