Power of the collective

.

10 years ago, whilst CEO of Marks & Spencer, Marc Bolland kickstarted a Movement of businesses, civil servants and charity leaders committed to helping young people struggling to get into employment.

Flash forward to 2023, Movement to Work has helped employers deliver more than 175,000 opportunities for those aged 16-30 facing barriers to work. Together, we create quality experiences for young people whilst building inclusive and diverse workplaces fit
for the future.

OUR SUPPORT IS 100% Free

Movement to Work is a registered charity offering free support to businesses seeking to develop youth employability programmes. There is no cost to join, no monthly fees, no price tag for events – no catch! All we ask is that you join our mission and commit to  creating quality opportunities for young people, and in return, we’re here to help you every step of the way.

Reasons to Join the Movement

We work with some of the biggest employers in the UK including Accenture, BAE Systems, BT Group, Diageo, M&S, Manpower, Marriott, The Department for Work and Pensions, Salesforce, Tesco and Unilever, amongst others.  We’ve spoken to some leading business figures about the benefits they’ve seen from their involvement and why they’re proud to support Movement to Work.

Providing life-changing experiences

There is no better way to show the true value of youth employability programmes than hearing some of the real-life stories right at the heart of it. We caught up with some of the amazing young people who have overcome barriers to work and are now thriving in their roles across Accenture, BAE Systems, Diageo, M&S, Manpower, Marriott, Unilever and The Department for Work and Pensions.
