Just 0.6% of Anglesey's 2025 Year 11 school leavers were recorded as not in education, employment or training, according to the county council's fourth-quarter performance scorecard.
The drop extends a multi-year improvement from 1.9% in 2024/25 and 4% in 2023/24, which the council attributed to early intervention, one-to-one guidance and closer work with schools, training providers and employers.
Targeted engagement, work-experience access and wellbeing support were also cited as key tools for tackling barriers before pupils leave education.
One young person who had been out of education since Year 10 was helped into supported accommodation and then onto a Jobs Growth Wales+ course, illustrating the council's focus on personalised pathways into study, training and work.
