Youth Employment UK’s annual Youth Voice Census Report is now available. Key findings for 2021 tell a story of mismatch and disconnect from young people in the UK.
We would like to thank co-sponsors Amazing Apprenticeships for their support in helping us to make the collation of this vital data possible. Only when we know what young people face can we all cohesively work together to overcome barriers.
“This incredible Youth Voice Census report by Youth Employment UK shows yet another significant shift for our young people and the careers support that they receive.
Whilst it is a remarkable achievement that nearly 86% of young people state that they have had apprenticeships discussed with them as an option, there is clearly more work to be done to ensure that all vocational options are being discussed. Not enough young people feel they are being supported when applying for apprenticeships (19%) and only 1 in 10 young people feel confident that they will be able to find quality work local to where they live.
This report also serves us with an important reminder that the mental health and wellbeing impacts are still being felt by many young people, and we have a collective responsibility to do more to ensure that the appropriate local support is reaching those who need it most.”
