Our member, M&S, talks about the benefits of being a part of Movement to Work for them as an employer.

This week we are calling on employers in the region to join our Liverpool Works campaign and help young people by giving them opportunities which could set them on a fulfilling career path.

Liverpool has the third highest rate in England of 16 to 24-year-olds who are not in education, employment or training.

We have joined forces with Marks & Spencer and Movement to Work, a not-for-profit coalition of leading UK employers, to highlight the issue and to encourage more businesses in finding a long-term solution.

Movement to Work offers unemployed young people the opportunity to build skills and improve their chances of finding permanent employment by facilitating high-quality work placements in companies of all sizes, including those in Liverpool City Region.
