Is it easy to find part-time work when you are in education?

For some young people finding part-time work comes quite easy, we have met lots of young people who have had part-time jobs, some who have had 3 or 4 at the same-time!  But we also hear from lots more young people who have really struggled to find a job that fits in with their studies and where an employer is willing to take on someone without much experience.

Then there is the other side of the coin where some young people choose not to take on part-time work and prefer to concentrate on their studies.part-time work

We know that the number of young people in part-time work is declining, is that a choice or because there are too few jobs?  We want to hear from young people who have got first hand experience so we can share your views and maybe look at some of the barriers with our members.
