What is an Activity Agreement?
The Activity Agreement is an exciting new opportunity for young people aged 16-19 in North Lanarkshire who have left school and are not currently involved in education, employment, training or volunteering.
It offers you the chance to get involved in a personal programme of learning and activity from a wide range of fun and challenging options. Your Agreement could include everything from music and arts to sport and outdoor activities. You can also take part in group activities with other local participants and get involved in community projects.
Some examples of activities are available here.
How does it work?
You make an agreement with us to complete your personal programme and, in return, you’ll get regular support and advice from your very own Keyworker to help your develop your skills, confidence and career prospects.
We’ll also help with transport to Activity Agreement venues, lunches and more. You can even apply for an EMA payment of £30 per week if you’re eligible.
How do I find out more?
You can find out more about the Activity Agreement by speaking to your Careers Advisor (Skills Development Scotland), Job Centre Advisor, Routes to Work Key Worker, teacher, youth worker and lots of other advisors based in your area.
You can also contact us directly by coming along to your local ’Learning Hub’, where our staff are based, or by calling us at one of the numbers listed below
