As part of Youth Employment Week 2024, Youth Employment UK launched the findings from their Good Youth Employment Benchmark, a digital tool that supports employers to access the information, advice and guidance they need to grow the quality of their early careers interactions and programmes. Their framework of employer activity includes Explore, Experience and Employment, capturing school engagement activities, work experience all the way through to apprenticeships and graduate schemes. The data showed that all employers have some level of involvement in activities across Explore, Experience, and Employment stages. All had started a journey and could see the benefit of all three stages. However, most employers lack a clear, time-bound strategy for these efforts, with only 15% of employers stating they had a youth employment strategy. Click here for more.
