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.

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…
