The Large Employers and the Youth Labour Market research report commissioned by Movement to Work and Youth Futures Foundation, and co-sponsored by Accenture and Sage, looks at how large employers engage with youth employment programmes and examines ways they can do it better and make a more meaningful impact.
In response to the research findings, Movement to Work, with the help of Accenture, have created Young, Inspired and Employed — an employer facing summary of the report — focussed on core insights, key benefits and actionable recommendations.
