Steps Ahead Mentoring
Young jobseekers need your help to build their confidence and find work
Support young people as they think about their careers and take their first steps into the workplace
Far too many young people remain unprepared for the world of work. In the current context of the economic crisis we are now facing, this only looks to worsen. To tackle this, we have a number of key initiatives, to help young people understand more about the world of work, from mentoring to careers advice.
The more opportunities that exist for young people to interact with employers the more likely they are to avoid becoming NEET (not in employment, education, and training). Our members are well placed to bring the world of work to life for young people, highlight career opportunities and help them understand what’s expected of them in the workplace. In this way, our volunteers are helping to create the diverse and inclusive workplaces of the future.
Have a look below to see what we are doing to better equip the next generation workforce and how you can get involved:
