Giving young people opportunities to develop skills and understand where those skills can take them.
This requires organisations to work together on our programmes, partnerships, employer engagement and initiatives such as VITA. Get in touch with us for more information.

At EmployabilityUK, our programmes give young people opportunities to build #skills and confidence through practical #experiences. They help them understand what they can do, identify where they can improve, and build capabilities they can carry into #future opportunities.

Young people need space to ask questions. They need opportunities to try things, receive feedback, make mistakes, and try again.
EmployabilityUK focuses not only on providing information, but on creating experiences that help young people develop and apply what they are learning.

A workplace visit can help a young person understand what happens beyond the job title.
At EmployabilityUK, we create opportunities for young people and employers to connect before recruitment becomes the focus.
Get in touch with us to create such opportunities.

What does an employer really see when they look at a young person's CV?
Activities? Achievements? They might have developed their skills over time through practice and experience.
Join us in making this conversation more visible by getting in touch.

We often talk about the opportunity gap as a question of access.
It is also about exposure, experience, networks and support. This is at the core of what we do because closing the opportunity gap is not simply about making opportunities available.

Over the past week, we have had the privilege of working with 150 Year 12 students to build their confidence and explore future pathways beyond the classroom.
We are grateful to the students, Aston University and the volunteers who helped make the programme possible.

92% of hiring managers say soft skills matter just as much as technical ones.
That’s why our programmes prepare young people not just for their first job, but for a lifetime of opportunities.

#Employability begins much earlier.
When employers engage with schools and colleges, they help young people understand workplace expectations, explore career pathways and develop the confidence to succeed.
Because preparing the future workforce is a shared responsibility.

Congratulations to everyone collecting their #results today.
Qualifications open doors. But careers are also shaped by communication, resilience, adaptability, curiosity, and the willingness to keep learning.
We are committed to helping young people build that confidence.

One conversation can change someone's perspective.
This September, you could be that person. By volunteering just a little of your time, you will help students gain valuable insight into different career pathways and opportunities.
Interested? Get in touch with us.
