About

IES is a leading independent centre for applied research and insight on employment, workforce, and labour markets.

Its mission is to help bring about sustainable improvements in employment policy and human resource management by generating and applying the best evidence to build a more inclusive, healthier and empowering world of work. It develops insight on what works across the employment journey – from education and transitions into work, through to workforce management, development, and careers.

Working with Youth Futures

IES collaborates with us on research and evaluation activity as a member of our evaluation panel.

Overview

We wanted to better understand the experiences of marginalised young people as they transition from education and training into good work.

To do this, we commissioned the Institute for Employment Studies (IES) to map national, devolved, regional and local-level support systems in England for young people with:

  • special educational needs and disabilities
  • experience of the care system
  • mental ill-health
  • and/or experience of the criminal justice system

This train line graphic shows the support available to four groups of marginalised young people as they transitioned through education and training into employment (England, 2024)
