  • Youth Employment

    2 hrs ago

    Over 1 in 5 young people in the UK are not in education, employment or training. By 2022 this will result in nearly £28 billion in costs to the exchequer and lost output to the economy, on top of the human and social costs. Employers now need to step up and commit to helping young people get in and move up in the workplace. The UK Commission is committed to the outcome of more career opportunities for young people. Explore this page to find out more information on youth employment, discover the benefits of working with young people and see what support is available to help you recruit a young person.

  • Youth Inquiry

    12 Jun 2012

    We were charged by Commissioners and key sponsors – DWP, the Welsh Government and the Scottish Government – to investigate the kind of activities, including improved education / employer engagement that most effectively support young people into employment, particularly those who are likely to be furthest from the labour market.
