How you can back young Britain

Although times are tough, we can all play a part in helping young people find training, work experience or a job. By committing to just one of the ideas below, you’ll be building a stronger future for Britain:

1. Supply apprenticeship opportunities for 16-24 year olds

2. Offer internship opportunities to graduates, undergraduates and non-
Graduates

3. Sign up to a Local Employment Partnership

4. Employ a young person through the Future Jobs Fund

5. Consider a young person for a work trial

6. Provide work experience within your organisation

7. Become a volunteer mentor for school, college or university leavers

Recruit, retain and train

Young people are eager to get into the workplace and demonstrate their high quality skills and attributes. By recruiting from this pool of dedicated individuals and taking advantage of the ongoing training and support available for young people, you can realise their potential and build stars for your workforce. Through continuing professional development, you can mould the young recruit and benefit your organisation long term.

Provide that first break

Graduates and apprentices are bursting with energy and enthusiasm. They bring to the table new ideas, new outlooks and the very latest in sector practice. By providing a young person with their first break you are not only changing their lives by building self-esteem and fantastic opportunities, but also gaining from the benefit of these talented individuals joining your organisation.

Develop young talent

There is a huge talent pool out there filled with energetic young individuals, thirsty to learn and use their skills in your organisation.

See how you can work with young Britain, to develop the very best in fresh new talent.
