“As one of Buckinghamshire’s largest employers, we receive a lot of interest from young people about career opportunities at the  Council. We are excited to have this excellent resource to allow us to share a wealth of information with everyone who is interested, and not just those who get a work experience placement. We hope that the videos and workbooks produced by Youth Employment UK will help to broaden understanding of the truly enormous breadth of exciting career paths we have to offer!”
