From the dynamic conversations during the day to the emotional highs of the awards in the evening, the whole event was a powerful reminder of why Movement to Work exists — and just how far we've come.
We heard from young people whose lives have changed through work placements, and from employers who are reshaping their hiring and training practices to be more inclusive. The sense of community, shared commitment and genuine excitement in the room was incredible.
It was a pleasure to welcome the Minister for Employment, Alison McGovern, to the Summit — and to have our work recognised in support of the government's Get Britain Working agenda. From launching YouthPath with the West Midlands Combined Authority to partnering with Microsoft and Accenture to equip NEET young people with the skills to use Gen AI responsibly in their journey toward employment, we're proud to be part of the effort to help young people into work — and we're committed to doing even more to support this shared mission.
The more people that get involved, the more businesses that get involved, the more employers that see the value to this — not just for the young people, but to their businesses as well — the bigger the Movement's going to get, and the more tangible the change is going to be.
One standout moment was the launch of Work Experience Works — a free practical guide built from real-world insight across the Movement to Work network, packed with principles, case studies and tips to help employers design meaningful experiences for young people.
