Youth Employment UK
About us -
Youth Employment UK is an independent, not for profit social enterprise founded in 2012 to tackle youth unemployment.
As experts on youth employment and unemployment, we are ideally placed to understand the complex landscape facing young people, employers and policy makers.
Through our Membership and the growing commitments to the Good Youth Employment Standards we are collectively making a difference with every opportunity. You will find our Members wherever you see the Good Youth Employment Standards Badge.
The Youth Voice Census is an annual temperature check on how young people in the UK feel about life, study, work and general prospects. Over 4,000 young people aged 11-30 took part in 2023. It is the largest survey of young people in the UK.
