A key aim of the CIPD Learning to Work programme is to promote the role of employers in reducing youth unemployment. Our report, The opportunity–information gap: the role of employer engagement with schools, look specifically at levels of employer engagement with local schools.
The research explores the level of employer engagement with schools and calls on employers to help young people transition successfully from education to work by engaging with local schools and colleges. Meeting an employer can have a powerful impact on a young person.
