"I'd like to help, but..." Many employers want to give a young person their first career opportunity, but aren't always sure where to start, or they feel concerned about the challenges involved. In this video, Helen Godwin Mayor of the West of England shares a clear message to employers: support is available, and she wants to hear what's getting in the way.
