About

Greater Manchester Combined Authority awarded a contract to Big Ideas for the production of audio-visual content and commissioning of employer-led learning programmes to support careers education for young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

The project, funded for 12 months with an option for extension, involved creating short films featuring young people with SEND and their managers/colleagues discussing workplace experiences, filmed on location at participants' workplaces.

Each pairing participated in two films: one describing job roles and transition from education to work, and another setting a task related to their role/industry for classroom use.

The films were intended to enhance the Greater Manchester Apprenticeship and Careers Service (GMACS) platform, with analytics tracking user engagement.

Additionally, the contract included commissioning programmes of employer-led learning sessions to develop the skills of young people with SEND to access the workplace.

The contract value was £90,000.
