About the Evidence into Action Program

The Evidence into Action program is dedicated to developing focused funding and learning initiatives that directly influence practitioners, employers, funders, and commissioners. Our goal is to support stakeholders in understanding and enacting evidence-informed changes in their practices to improve youth employment outcomes.

Initial Funding Focus

The first round of funding under the Evidence into Action program will target:

• Target Group: Ethnic minoritised communities in the UK, aged 16-24, most at risk of becoming NEET (not in education, employment, or training)

• Funding Approach: Core costs and delivery funding, up to £75k per year for up to three years
• Learning and Capacity Building: Dedicated support, organisational and evaluation capacity building, and research expertise

Program Size and Commitment
