Movement to Work today launched Level Up for Work, a new campaign designed to help young people who are currently not in education, employment or training (NEET) build the confidence to use AI responsibly and effectively whilst jobseeking.
As the world of work continues to evolve, digital confidence is becoming a key employability skill — and AI is increasingly used across the hiring journey, from exploring career options, tailoring CVs, to drafting applications. Level Up for Work responds to this shift by giving young people practical tools and guidance to use AI in ways that support their voice, rather than replace it.

Over the coming weeks and months, the campaign will share a mix of training, content and resources, including Gen AI for Jobseekers training created in partnership with Microsoft and Accenture, practical tips and tools to help young people use AI responsibly, honest conversations with employers about staying authentic, interviews and stories from young people who've used AI to boost their chances, free courses from LinkedIn Learning to build digital confidence and job-ready skills, and a soon-to-be-launched immersive game experience currently in development.

Launching alongside the campaign, Gen AI for Jobseekers offers young people step-by-step support to explore careers and apply for jobs. The course is free, self-paced and includes short, easy-to-watch video lessons, practical activities that can be used straight away, an embedded Microsoft Copilot AI tool to test skills and get instant feedback, and a digital certificate on completion.

The training is already being rolled out across DWP Youth Hubs and Job Centres, helping ensure young people nationwide can access support as hiring and workplace expectations change. Movement to Work is encouraging employers, youth organisations and partners to share the course widely with the young people they support.
