NEET Reduction Trend
"We found our dashboard showed a 72% spike in NEET registrations every September. We now schedule our largest outreach campaigns in August and have prevented 140+ young people from becoming NEET in the first place."
- Emma Wilson, Employment Services Manager, Liverpool City Council
NEET Hotspot Mapping
See exactly where your NEET population is concentrated at postal code level.
NEET Geographic Distribution
Birmingham City Council overlaid this map with their outreach centers and discovered that 60% of their NEETs had to take 2+ buses to reach help.
They created 3 micro-pop-up locations in high-density areas and saw engagement increase by 217% in the first month.
Intervention Effectiveness Tracking
See which programs actually work and which are wasting your budget.
| Intervention Program | Success Rate | ROI | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Digital Skills Academy | 78.4% | 476% | High Performer |
| CV Workshop Series | 12.3% | -58% | Underperforming |
| Hospitality Training | 71.1% | 384% | High Performer |
| Mentoring Program | 64.8% | 523% | High Performer |
"This table shocked us. We were spending 40% of our budget on CV workshops with only 12% success. We shifted funding to our mentoring program and digital skills training. Within 4 months, our overall employment rate increased by 34% while our cost per outcome dropped by 28%."
- Robert Jenkins, Employment Services Director, Manchester City Council
Financial Impact Calculator

Input Your Numbers
Your Financial Impact
Based on your inputs, moving 420 NEETs into sustainable employment would generate over ÂŖ2.2 million in combined financial benefits over 3 years.
Leeds City Council used this calculator to prepare for their budget defense meeting. They showed that their ÂŖ450,000 NEET program was delivering over ÂŖ1.7 million in measurable financial benefits. Not only did they avoid budget cuts, they received an additional ÂŖ175,000 in funding.

đ From Data to Action
GPOD's Borough Analytics isn't just about collecting data â it's about turning insights into specific actions.
1. Identify Patterns
The dashboard automatically highlights unusual patterns in your NEET data â like concentrations in specific areas or spikes at certain times.
Bradford Council discovered 62% of their NEETs were within 800m of just 3 public transport routes, but these routes had limited service after 6pm.
2. Generate Actions
The system suggests specific actions based on patterns identified, with predicted impact and resource requirements.
For Bradford, the system recommended creating evening outreach hours, negotiating extended bus service hours, and setting up a micro-hub near a transport intersection.
3. Simulate Outcomes
Before implementing, simulate the potential impact of different intervention options to find the optimal approach.
Bradford simulated 5 different approaches and found that a transport subsidy program combined with extended hours would have 3x the impact of just extending service hours.
4. Implement & Track
Implement selected interventions while the system tracks real-time impact against predictions.
Bradford implemented a ÂŖ25 weekly transport subsidy and extended outreach hours to 9pm three days a week, tracking engagement rates in real-time.

Most councils see measurable results within the first 2-3 months of implementation. The system provides immediate insights as soon as data is imported, and actionable recommendations can be generated within weeks. Our research shows that councils following GPOD recommendations see an average 15% reduction in NEET numbers in the first quarter, scaling to around 47% by the end of the first year.
Implementation typically takes 2-4 weeks and follows a structured process:
