Skills Company Joins Forces With Youth Employment UK

Greater Manchester’s largest vocational training provider, The Skills Company, has become a member of Youth Employment UK (YEUK), a leading campaigning and membership organisation dedicated to tackling youth unemployment in the UK.  Youth Employment UK was set up to support all of those working in the youth employment arena, and to ensure that the voice of young people is heard on the youth employment issues that affect them.

Central to YEUK’s mission is the Youth Friendly Charter, which encourages all UK organisations to support young people in their communities.  The Charter represents best practice when supporting and working with young people, and organisations signing up to it commit to aspiring to its principles.

Alan Benvie, Director of Employability at the Skills Company, which is part of the Manchester Growth Company, said:

 

“We are delighted to become a Community Member of Youth Employment UK.  They do an important  job in representing the interests of young people in the field of employment issues, and campaigning to ensure that the voice of young people is taken into account by policy makers.”

 

“We look forward to working closely with YEUK on a range of activities and initiatives which will raise the aspirations and improve the employment prospects of young people.”

The Skills Company (formerly Skills Solutions), part of the not-for-profit Manchester Growth Company, is the largest workplace learning provider in Greater Manchester and one of the largest providers of Apprenticeships in the North West, working with over 2,500 employers directly generating Apprenticeship vacancies and looking after thousands of learners on a variety of Apprenticeship and other programmes. The Skills Company also provides Traineeships and programmes for young people who need additional support to achieve their career goals.  For more information, visit www.theskillsco.com.
