Our tools
Our essential, free, digital tools to support employers, researchers, policymakers and others to access and interpret evidence.
As the What Works Centre for youth employment, we believe evidence is essential to building our understanding of the complex challenges we face, and the opportunities we have to support more young people into good jobs. Yet it is often too hard to access and interpret the data and evidence that exists.
That’s why we developed free, digital tools to support you to access and interpret the information you need.
Youth Employment Toolkit
Our toolkit summarises high-quality international evidence on the impact, cost and effectiveness of common interventions that are used to help young people find and keep good work.
Data Dashboard
Our dashboard collates official statistics on the labour market, NEET rates and related economic issues alongside other regional, national and international data on youth employment to provide up-to-date insights and visualisations.
Evidence and Gap Map
The world’s largest interactive mapping resource for global evidence on what works to improve youth skills, employment and job quality.
Youth Employment System Map
The first-ever interactive map of the youth employment system in England, providing a visual representation of the barriers and opportunities young people from marginalised backgrounds face as they seek good jobs.
