The scheme expands regionally — helping young people develop skills, gain experience, and access apprenticeships and job opportunities while supporting businesses to become more inclusive and future-ready.
Movement to Work officially unveiled YouthPath LCR at the Raise Up Youth Summit at Box Park, Liverpool, where hundreds of business leaders gathered to support the region's future workforce. The day featured inspiring discussions, workshops and networking opportunities, positioning YouthPath as a catalyst for social mobility as businesses across the Liverpool City Region were called to step up and lead.
CEO Sareena Bains led a panel on breaking down barriers to employment, joined by employer partners Katie Byrne (Barclays), Nicki O'Connor (DWP) and Youth Ambassador Emma Carter. Carter completed a Movement to Work placement with HM Revenue & Customs, secured employment, and met the Prime Minister and Chancellor — demonstrating the potential unlocked when businesses invest in young people.
Councillor Marion Atkinson, Leader of Sefton Council and LCRCA Portfolio Holder for Employment, Education and Skills, supported the call to action for Liverpool employers to participate. Throughout the summit, the Movement to Work team delivered free training sessions in partnership with Accenture, Microsoft and LinkedIn, helping young people use AI and digital tools to find pathways into work.
YouthPath transforms lives — but its impact depends on the businesses that take part.
Liverpool employers now have the opportunity to develop or strengthen youth employment programmes, access a diverse and motivated talent pipeline, and make a tangible community impact. Movement to Work provides fully funded support to help businesses get started.
