Who we work with
Employer Advisory Board
Convening employers to improve the employment landscape for both organistions and young people.
The Employer Advisory Board brings together a group of key, diverse employers to learn from each other and collaborate on vital labour market issues.
The challenge
Almost a million young people are not in education, employment and training.
We know that to tackle this challenge, we need a coordinated effort across business, government and civil society.
And working with employers is a critical part of improving the employment landscape for both employers and young people.
