Join Youth Employment UK for the 3rd Youth Friendly Employment Conference and Annual Awards
NOVEMBER 24th 2016
Recruiting, training and retaining young people in employment are key issues for many organisations. In contrast young people remain to be one of the groups most "at risk" of unemployment. Impetus PEF produced a report this year that identified that nearly 1.3 million 16-24 year olds will experience some time NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training).
The third Youth Friendly Employment Conference will be taking a look at the key characteristics of "Youth Friendly" organisations. Through a series of workshops we will explore with both young people and employers how delegate organisations can identify ways in which their business can better support young people.
