We are METS - a training initiative set up and run by experienced, professional informal educators. METS stands for Manor Education and Training Solutions, and we run the Techshop. We aim to…

• increase, through innovative learning programmes, skills, confidence and achievement levels in young people who are disengaged and disaffected from mainstream education and falling short of academic attainment.
• contribute to the reduction of criminality and crime (especially vehicle-related) amongst Young People through models of practice that reflect their interests and needs.
• contribute to the reduction of anti-social behaviour and racial harassment through a comprehensive approach using the models of integrated delivery with existing or planned initiatives and the local communities.
• support Young People’s entry into mainstream progression routes through entry-level accreditation, offering underpinning knowledge and a practical skills base.
• increase access and opportunities for young people to participate in youth-related activities within their area.

In order to achieve this we run the following provisions: Crime diversion, Day2day, Time4U and Roadshows. We are also proud sponsor of the Newham Warriors.
