Young Person’s Experience

For employers to make changes to engage, recruit and retain young people into their business, it’s important to understand what barriers young people face with employment, how employers can help overcome them, and what benefits young people can bring to the workplace.

Business Wales has worked with a variety of partners across Wales to help build an understanding of what those challenges are, which will enable you to identify the changes you can make and the support you need to make them.

Take a look at each film to hear the various challenges that young people are facing, and what they are looking for to gain employment.
