Youth Voice and NEET to OPPORTUNITY are now on our website
On 1 November 2026 we published the NEET to OPPORTUNITY programme pages and the Youth Voice hub. What you can use today and what is still proposed.
By IT’S POSSIBLE NOWPublished
On 1 November 2026 we published two new parts of ipncic.com: the NEET to OPPORTUNITY programme pages for young people, and the Youth Voice hub. Young people aged 16 and over can now send us an idea, register interest in the programme and register interest in the proposed youth panel. The pilot itself is proposed and is not yet running.
What went live
| Page | What it does |
|---|---|
| NEET to OPPORTUNITY | Explains the programme for young people who are not in education, employment or training, or who could be soon, and its six pathways |
| EARN | Explains fair pay, enterprise income and the difference between wages, turnover, profit and expenses |
| NEET to OPPORTUNITY 65 | Describes the proposed pilot |
| Youth Voice | The hub for having your say, surveys, the proposed panel and the public record |
| Have your say | A form for an idea, a barrier or an improvement |
| Register interest in the youth panel | A form to register interest in the proposed panel |
| Youth surveys | Short surveys, each with its opening and closing dates |
| You said, we did | The public record of what young people told us and what happened next |
The same day, the Our Opportunity Network page replaced the earlier ecosystem page at the same address.
What you can do today
You can send a message through Have your say without joining anything. You can register interest in NEET to OPPORTUNITY, or in the proposed youth panel. Each form gives you a reference number when it is sent, and if you give an email address we send that reference to you.
Registering interest is not an application and does not reserve a place.
What is still proposed
NEET to OPPORTUNITY 65 is a proposed 12-month pilot for 65 young people in Greater Manchester who are NEET or at risk of becoming NEET. Eligibility, the age range, referrals, funding, delivery organisations and a start date are agreed when the pilot is approved.
The youth panel is also proposed: eight young people aged about 16 to 24 from different backgrounds across Greater Manchester. Membership, meetings, payment, safeguarding arrangements and dates are agreed before anyone joins.
You said, we did has no entries yet. It explains how the record works, and an entry appears only after it has been reviewed and approved by a second member of the team.
Where to start
If you are a young person, Have your say is the quickest way to tell us what would help. If you support a young person, the supporter form is for you.
A next step
It is free, takes a few minutes and commits you to nothing.
