Our Youth Skills Manifesto, supported by King's InterHigh, highlights the key skills employers look for in young people and how individuals will need to embrace new learning throughout their careers as the workplace becomes more technical, automated and low carbon focused. It examines the important role of technical education, notably T-Levels, Higher Technical Qualifications and Apprenticeships across England.

A new survey from American Student Assistance and JFF examines non-college-bound youth’s perspectives on education and career plans. What it finds is that there is an increased interest in non-degree pathway programs — apprenticeships, boot camps, licenses, certificates and certifications — but a lack of understanding about those programs appears to be a barrier. For example, two in three Gen Z youth who did not pursue a non-degree education pathway indicated they would have considered this option if they had known more about it, according to a report on the findings.

The largest survey of young people in the UK confirms that "last year’s mental health crisis hasn’t gone away" and that we must do more to support their enrichment, self-development and transition into adulthood. #youthvoicecensus #youthemployment Youth Employment UK #kingswoodcentres #outdooradventure #kingswoodcamps

Encouraging to see the evidence in this report from young people saying their #careers education experience is improving, with more employers going into schools, more career-related learning and more parity between #apprenticeships and university options – leading to greater awareness. This echoes a range of other evidence showing increasing and sustained improvement in careers education leading to better outcomes for young people – with career readiness rising to 74 per cent by Year 13 👉 https://bit.ly/3JQ4qpV We agree, there is more to do. We must galvanise our combined efforts to build on what we know is working and accelerate this positive progress to ensure every young person has the support they need to take their best next step 👉 https://bit.ly/3RJoPC3 With more than 90 per cent of schools now in a Careers Hub, we’re focused on bolstering coverage with quality – ensuring young people from Newcastle to Newquay can be assured of the same support; moving employer engagement from outreach to intake – linking it directly to job opportunity; boosting apprenticeship interest to uptake by targeting barriers, and ensuring careers continues to move from the margins to the mainstream of education - embedded in day-to-day lessons, showing how and what students learn is used in the jobs they are interested in.

"We continue to insist young people are not work ready without rectifying the chronic under supply of work experience activities and supporting enrichment and engagement services for young people". Last week, Youth Employment UK published their annual Youth Voice Census, polling 4,000 young people to build a picture of their concerns. They found that young people are in fight or flight mode, fearing a future they don't feel prepared for. Online mentoring gives young people the chance to connect with an inspiring role model, regardless of where they live. We run virtual work experience programmes and engage young people to think about future careers through our innovative technology. We want young people to feel confident and excited about their future.
