About NEBA

We work across Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire providing support to schools, colleges and businesses to develop and deliver quality work-related learning opportunities, including work experience and enterprise education, for young people. Our key focus is 14 – 19 year old learners but we also undertake projects and activities with primary schools.

Work-related learning is a statutory requirement for all 14-16 year olds. Schools must make provision for all learners to:

• Learn about work, by providing opportunities to develop knowledge and understanding of the world of work and enterprise.
• Learn for work, by developing key employability and enterprise skills.
• Learn through work, by providing direct experiences of work.

NEBA supports this provision by assisting schools and employers with:

• Work experience placements
• Delivering enterprise and employability activities
• Mentoring for learners
• Development opportunities for teaching staff and employers
