APPG for Youth Employment launches new inquiry in to place based approaches to youth employment

The APPG for Youth Employment is delighted to launch its next inquiry as it aims to better understand how place based approaches to youth unemployment are working across the country.

We know that where a young person lives can determine the types of opportunities available to them, resulting in young people having different experiences of education, training and employment opportunities and different levels of support.

This inquiry seeks to understand the differing levels of opportunity available to young people at a hyper-local level and explore how a place-based approach to youth unemployment can address locale-specific challenges to move more young people into education, training or employment.

The inquiry will run from March to June 2023, there will be two in-person evidence session and final meeting to launch the inquiry report. You can sign up to the in person sessions through the Eventbrite links.
