Backing Young Britain
30/03/2010
Backing Young Britain is a cross-government campaign bringing together business, public sector organisations and the voluntary sector to provide more opportunities for young people.
The main elements are:
Offer an Apprenticeship
Apprenticeships are work-based training programmes designed around the needs of you, the employer. They help young people reach their full potential and gain a nationally recognised qualification, and you get the well-rounded, skilled employee you need.
Give a young person a job
Offering a young person a job can have huge benefits for the individual and for your organisation. There are many ways that we can help you to give a young person that first break.
Provide experience of work
It’s essential that young people are able to gain real-life experience of work. Whether that’s through a three-week work experience programme or a six-month internship scheme, young people need to put that all important experience on their CV to enter the jobs market.
