Innovative ways to help young people find jobs include:
Apprenticeships and Vocational Training: In the UK, more young people started apprenticeships in 2020—about 322,000 of them! These programs teach practical skills and give real work experience.
Youth Entrepreneurship Programs: Programs like the Prince's Trust have helped over 950,000 young people since 1976. They support young folks in starting their own businesses. Impressively, around 70% of these businesses are still running after five years.
Digital Skills Training: By 2030, about 82% of jobs will need some digital skills. Programs like Digital Boost are super important because they help young people learn the skills they will need for jobs in the future.
Public-Private Partnerships: This means working together with the government and private companies to create job opportunities. These partnerships focus on areas where there aren’t enough workers.
Targeted Subsidies: The Kickstart Scheme started in 2020 and provided £2 billion for six-month job placements for young people. This resulted in more than 100,000 new job placements!
All of these efforts aim to lower youth unemployment. In 2021, youth unemployment was at 12.1%, while overall unemployment was just 3.7%.
