Learners on the Entry-to-Employment, (e2e), programme are equally at high risk of unplanned pregnancy and sexually transmitted deceases, through casual sexual activities.

SMT representative was delighted to be given the opportunity to highlight issues both medical and social, to the local young people, (learners). All learners participated in the feedback and were given additional resource packs with contact information. The SMT has given TBG Learning a commitment to make regular presentations to its e2e learners.
