A discussion paper with new perspectives to support the changing relationship between employers and young people.

The paper presents insights on the changing relationship between employers and young people, through a survey and set of interviews with employers, intermediary organisations and young people. New stories about shifts and flows in learning and work demonstrate that small scale large impact interventions, with the support of intermediaries are hugely beneficial. Doing nothing is no longer an option and employers are re-thinking their recruitment and development practices with young employees.
