Kate Carr

About

Kate had almost two decades of experience in employer engagement – expanding partnerships, translating research into practical hiring strategies, and leading collaborative initiatives to create pathways to meaningful employment for marginalised groups. Kate is committed to driving systemic change through employer-led solutions, with a deep passion for promoting diversity, equity and inclusion in the labour market.

Kate lives with her husband, two children, and Maple the fox red Labrador (her favourite child). Outside work, Kate runs regularly (but reluctantly), organises Book / Wine Clubs (willingly) and is on a never-ending mission to learn Spanish.

What they are involved with at Youth Futures

Kate collaborates closely with our Impact and Evaluation teams to help identify effective recruitment and retention practices, connecting with employers eager to trial innovative approaches as part of our flagship programme to build the evidence on what works for recruitment & retention.
