Connecting Young People to Opportunity
Creating Pathways from NEET to Education, Training, and Employment
In the U.K., nearly one million young people aged 16–24 are currently classified as NEET—not in education, employment, or training. Recent figures from the Office for National Statistics indicate that approximately 950,000 to 960,000 young people fall into this category, with more than half economically inactive due to factors such as long-term health conditions or caring responsibilities. As workforce systems work to address these challenges, Geographic Solutions provides innovative technology that helps connect young people with education, training, employment opportunities, and the services they need to overcome barriers to work. By bringing workforce data, career resources, and employment services together, our solutions help agencies create more effective pathways to opportunity for the next generation.

Building an Inclusive Labour Market
For a Stronger United Kingdom
At Geographic Solutions, we believe a thriving economy starts with fair access to opportunity. That’s why we’re committed to supporting underserved communities across the UK—including people with disabilities, UK individuals not pursuing education or employment, and those facing long-term unemployment. By delivering tailored services and smart technology, we help ensure no one is left behind in the journey toward meaningful work.
Apprenticeships are a vital part of this effort. They offer practical, hands-on experience and a direct pathway into skilled employment. Our platforms help connect UK residents with apprenticeship opportunities, support employers in building diverse talent pipelines, and assist training providers in tracking progress and outcomes.
When we invest in equity and skills development, we’re not just helping individuals—we’re strengthening the economy for everyone. A more inclusive labour force leads to greater productivity, reduced unemployment, and stronger communities from city centres to regional towns. Geographic Solutions is proud to support this vision by delivering technology that empowers every corner of the UK to grow and thrive.
Targeting Apprenticeships
To Support Highly-Skilled Talent Pipelines
Apprenticeships offer individuals a valuable entry point into the workforce, enabling them to earn an income while gaining specialized skills and training that pave the way for long-term career growth. Employers benefit significantly as well—facing a shortage of skilled human capital, they can shape a talent pool tailored to their needs by bridging education with real-world job requirements. Trade unions and professional organizations can maintain strong membership levels, while educational institutions gain access to a new and previously untapped pool of learners.
VOS Sapphire AI collects essential data on apprenticeship programs and their participants, organising it for reporting purposes. These reports highlight goal rate attainment and areas that may need improvement – providing a clear and compelling view of education and human capital strategies, as well as broader labour market objectives.

Geographic Solutions works closely with government agencies, education providers, and employers to deliver measurable outcomes. Whether it’s helping job seekers upskill, supporting businesses in recruitment, or guiding policy with data-driven insights, we’re committed to building a stronger, more inclusive talent pool across the UK.
