“We believe in unlocking the potential of young people by offering quality work placement opportunities; this is not just the right thing to do for young people, it is the right thing to do for business.”

– Ivan Menezes, Chair of Movement to Work

In a time of near full employment, nearly 800,000 young people are not in employment, education or training. Close to 500,000 of these young people are receiving no statutory support to gain employment.

If your organisation is passionate about levelling the playing field for young people

Movement to Work inspires young people to change their lives through positive encounters with work.

Our member employers are in a unique position to bring about powerful and lasting change that can unlock the potential of young people.
