2017 has been a buzz of activity, take a look and see how you can improve your employability skills, support youth employment and win a trip to Poland – what is not to like about that?!

We have 3 activities you can do this week to improve your own skills and help improve youth employment, take a look and get involved in all 3.

Share your story with our Education to Employment Survey

Number 1Young people, their voices and opinions are key to the work we do at Youth Employment UK. To support our work as the Secretariat for the All-Party Parliamentary group for Youth Employment we are looking for your views on how well you were or are being prepared for the world after leaving education. We want to know what skills you want to learn, who you think should be helping you and when you want help and support. Spare us 5 minutes of your time and help contribute to our report on the transition from education to employment.

Complete the survey here.
