Introducing youthpath

Movement to Work (MtW) is proud to introduce YouthPath, an ambitious initiative in partnership with the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA). 

Read the full press release here.

YouthPath aims to inspire and support businesses across the West Midlands to create meaningful employment pathways—work experience, apprenticeships, and job opportunities—for young people aged 16-30 who are currently not in education, employment, or training (NEET). 

This campaign seeks to bolster the Government’s Youth Guarantee and reinforces the West Midlands’ role as a Trailblazer region.

Movement to Work is proud to support the West Midlands Mayor’s Youth Employment Plan, which seeks to deliver 20,000 opportunities for young people in the coming years. 

If you’re a West Midlands employer, join the growing coalition of businesses already pledging to support young people in the region. We’re here and ready to help you make a difference!

Our Support is 100% Free

Movement to Work is a registered charity offering free support to businesses seeking to develop youth
employability programmes. There is no cost to join, no monthly fees, no price tag for events.

ABOUT MOVEMENT TO WORK 

Movement to Work (MtW) helps employers deliver high-quality employability opportunities for young people aged 16-30 facing barriers to work. As a registered UK charity, MtW offers fully-funded professional support to businesses interested in tackling youth unemployment. 

For over a decade, Movement to Work has helped deliver over 200,000 youth opportunities, including work experience, apprenticeships, sector-based work academy programmes, internships, traineeships, and entry-level roles. These efforts have resulted in positive outcomes for more than 89% of participants, who have gone on to secure further employment, education, or training. 

Movement to Work’s Steering Group includes executive leaders from major UK businesses such as Accenture, BAE Systems, Barclays, Centrica, Diageo, Marriott, M&S, Tesco, Salesforce, and Spirax Group, as well as leaders from the TUC, The CBI, The King’s Trust, and the DWP. MtW’s mission is to help young people gain access to valuable work experiences as a pathway to sustainable employment, and in turn, expose organisations to diverse, untapped talent.
