Youth Employment. Recognising the rise in youth unemployment both nationally and locally, a key priority for the Partnership is supporting young people into employment.

Youth Employment. Recognising the rise in youth unemployment at national and local level, there will be a focus on minimising the effects on young people aged 16- 24 years of early disengagement from the labour market and building on the excellent work which is already being taken forward jointly to support young people into further education, training and employment.
