The London and South East University Group (LASE), described as the UK’s first “super-university,” backs efforts aimed at tackling the NEETs crisis—people who are not in education, employment or training. LASE brings together universities operating across multiple campuses and supports initiatives intended to improve pathways for young people and connect them to learning and work opportunities.
The reports say LASE accommodates more than 50,000 students across four campuses in London, Medway and Kent. The outlets frame the group’s involvement as a step toward strengthening regional coordination between higher education providers and broader employment and training systems. While details of the specific measures are not included in the provided excerpts, both sources emphasize the scale of the university group and its capacity to contribute to solutions targeting NEETs.
