The Milburn report showed there are systematic failings creating barriers for Gen Z looking to get jobs. We are calling for the government to implement grants to companies hiring young people aged 18-24 in paid internships & entry jobs to help make starting a career actually affordable.
One million young people are not in employment, education or training, with the government-issued Milburn report suggesting a huge economic impact. Young people are being systematically failed, faced with employment barriers that are increasingly competitive, unequal, and financially unviable. We are petitioning for the government to implement policy to directly address this, offering grants to companies hiring aged 18-24s into paid internships or entry jobs to help stimulate youth employment.
