National Careers Week and Employment

Young people are the future of all organisations, so National Careers Week is a good opportunity for employers to access the future generations and gain their interest in the work companies do, so they can imagine their future possibilities.

• Use National Careers Week to work with schools and colleges to promote opportunities and offer career advice to young people
• Attend a job fair to drive recruitment
• Promote apprenticeship opportunities.
• Review job descriptions and person specifications to ensure the skills and experience required does not unintentionally create barriers for young people
