Local Businesses and schools working together to create employment opportunities for young people

New research looking at how businesses can work with schools and colleges to benefit the future prospects of young people, has been welcomed by the Minister for Education and Welsh Language, Jeremy Miles.

The ‘Transitions to Employment’ report, carried out by Hefin David, MS, has been commissioned by Welsh Government.

Some recommendations in the ‘Transitions to Employment’ report are already underway with £500,000 announced last month by the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language for a tailored work experience scheme targeted at young learners who are disengaging with education and are at risk of becoming NEET.

Careers and Work-Related Experiences are now a mandatory part of the Curriculum for Wales, including ages 3 to 16, bringing the emphasis into primary schools as well as secondary schools.
