Backing Young Britain is bringing businesses and public and voluntary sectors together to ensure that the valuable skills and experience of our young people are not being wasted.
Get a helping hand by offering a helping hand
The enthusiasm and potential of young people will be vital as we start to move out of recession. Taking on a young person in your business means that you can:
- fill skills gaps in your business
- utilise a cost-effective staffing resource
- provide your company with a workforce for the future
- send a positive message about your business to the local community
- access a range of government support
Your business can benefit by:
- offering volunteer places
- providing work experience and internships to graduates, 18 year olds and non-graduates
- taking on a young person for a job through a work trial
- supplying apprenticeships for 16-24 year olds
- biding for one of the 100,000 jobs for young people from the Future Jobs Fund
