How it works / The journey

Notice early. Respond together.

ECE aims to connect people and services around the learner, from identifying a need to supporting progress and the next opportunity.

01 / The ecosystem

Support around the learner.

ECE is not designed as a single intervention. It aims to connect the different support structures that determine whether a learner remains in education and successfully transitions into the next stage of life.
