Nearly one million young people aged 16–24 in the UK are not in education, employment or training. So, what can employers and educators do to help bridge the gap?
There isn’t one simple reason why young people are struggling to make the move into work. Skills, confidence, access to opportunities and how prepared they feel for the workplace can all play a part. But it raises an important question: where are we losing young people between education and employment?
Hosted by Clare Keniry, this webinar brings together Chris Rowe and Jill Nathan to look at the issue from both sides of that transition.
Are we preparing young people for what employers actually need? Are entry-level opportunities genuinely accessible? And could closer collaboration between educators and employers stop more young people from falling through the gaps?
The discussion will explore:
- What’s keeping young people out of education, employment or training – and where support is needed most
- The skills, confidence and experience young people need to make the move into work
- Where the transition between education and employment is breaking down
- How educators can better connect learning with the realities of the workplace
- How employers can make opportunities more accessible to young talent
- How we can help young people not only enter work, but build a sustainable future in it
