Post by Youth Employment UK

The conversation around youth employment continues to evolve, and this week’s headlines show just how important joined-up action has become. This week’s Friday Five explores five key developments shaping the future of youth employment, from employer incentives and apprenticeships to early intervention and mental health support. The top headlines: 1. Andy Burnham’s vision for youth employment and regional opportunity 2. New recommendations to encourage employers to recruit more young people 3. Government action to identify and support young people at risk of becoming NEET 4. New evidence on employment support for people with health conditions (Department for Work and Pensions (DWP)) 5. The continued rise in children’s mental health referrals and what it means for youth employment Each story reinforces the same message: creating better opportunities for young people requires collaboration between employers, educators, policymakers and communities.
