Once young people get a foot in their door they can stay in work, but this helps them get the foot in the door Training and qualifications are a pre-requisite. Employers use these to filter, so need to be job relevant and valued by employers Confidence looking for work is a crucial signal Young people are a diverse group. Other issues like caring responsibilities and health impact, as with other age groups

Micro grants to tackle barriers • Enterprise. A four day course focused on starting a business • So far this has delivered: • 10 out of 12 participants getting jobs with DHL • 12 out of 12 gaining Apprenticeships with Arnold Clark • Key lessons. • When designed with employers, short training can work • When there’s a good job prospect, young people will engage

  11. Case study: Birmingham • Hypothesis that provision designed by young people for young people would be more successful: • Youth Innovation Board. Giving young people a formal role in programme design • Engagement mechanisms. Including focus groups, customer feedback etc • So far this has delivered: • ½ of 441 Initiate participants have progressed into further education and training • 90% said the programme supported their progression • Key lessons. • Involving YP in design can work and change delivery

I never knew just how many different kinds of jobs there were available and I have handed in my CV in the hope I might be considered when opportunities arise.” MELISSA LYONS, 22, BOOTLE. UNEMPLOYED FOR 2 YEARS
