Youth Employment Week

3 - 7 Jul 2023

Youth Employment Week Impact Report

You can now download the Impact Report for our new annual national campaign, Youth Employment Week, launched for the first time in 3rd July 2023. The theme for this year - Opportunity for All - put a focus on inclusivity at every level of education and transition into training and employment. That’s been reflected in the events we’ve hosted and attended, and in the passion from employers and educators to treat young people as individuals.

We held a number of online and in person events. Our Gen Z webinar was an important moment for us to challenge some of the language and assumptions around young people. We also held a fantastic session for employers on supporting neurodiversity in the workplace, with thanks to our Youth Ambassadors for leading this!

We've also held and attended events helping young people explore their next steps and connect with our free services and our incredible community.

On 5th July we were in Parliament to launch our hugely important report on the impact that place has on a young person's employment prospects. We also met a number of MPs to discuss with them youth employment nationally and at their local constituency level.

The team, our partners, friends, community members and young people have fully embraced Youth Employment Week 2023. We blew away our target of sharing 5k opportunities with 50k people. In fact, we connected young people with over 53,000 opportunities! Not bad for Youth Employment Week’s inaugural year! Here's to making next year even bigger...

Together we are connecting young people to opportunities and support, and raising awareness of the benefits of hiring young people.
