RECOGNISING TALENT is 1 of the 5 core principles of good youth employment

The Recognising Talent principle calls on employers to think about the requirements they ask of young candidates for their roles. It’s an impactful way to think differently about traditional qualification requirements and broaden skills and abilities. Employers who utilise this principle think more inclusively about their recruitment and workforce development needs.

This year’s theme is OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL.

Ask yourself:

What has your organisation done to increase access for young people of all backgrounds into opportunity?
What more could it do?
How has it listened to young people and what they need in terms of finding opportunity?
