Over 1 million young people in the UK are currently not in education, employment or training.
Movement to Work is a registered UK charity and voluntary coalition of employers committed to tackling youth unemployment.
Our work helps break the 'no experience, no job' cycle by connecting young people aged 16 – 30 facing barriers to work with quality work experience, training and employment opportunities.
Since 2013, we've brought together hundreds of employers, youth organisations and government partners to create meaningful pathways into work, providing 100% free support for every employer that joins us.
100% free support — here's what you get as a member of Movement to Work.
