No 21
Wednesday 19th January 2022
10 – 11:30am

Apprenticeships have struggled in the current high-wage economy and the numbers of young people not in education, employment, or training (NEET) are high. With the demand for new talent expected to rise, and young people as the solution to the UK’s skills deficit, what will become of the early talent landscape in 2022?

In this roundtable, the attending organisations broke down the core topics of early talent recruitment and discussed their expectations for the year ahead.

Who we are?
We challenge industry stereotypes, we broaden horizons and we help young people to make informed decisions at the beginning of their working life. We believe every young person in the UK should have the access to the information they really need when taking that first step into employment.

We look at things a bit differently, helping young people understand what really interests them not just what’s available in the here and now. As a result, we’re proud to say we’ve helped over 2 million people through this process, but we want to help many more!

As a result of continued success, we are expanding our team and recruiting a Talent Manager.

  • Prepare and post opportunities across a range of platforms in line with employer and business requirements.
