Statement on New Youth Unemployment Figures

Youth unemployment has reached unprecedented levels, causing concern across communities. At Vinspired, we are acutely aware of this issue, as we constantly engage with young individuals who are eager to contribute positively to their neighborhoods but face hurdles in securing employment. Our platform has enabled over a million young people to engage in volunteering, equipping them with essential skills and experiences that enhance their employability in an increasingly competitive job market.

Addressing the Employment Gap

The current economic climate presents limited employment opportunities for young people. To address this, there is a pressing need to invest in diverse employment pathways. This includes offering more support for young entrepreneurs aiming to establish their enterprises and those aspiring to leverage their skills within the voluntary and community sectors. Young people are poised to become the next generation of leaders in community and business. Supporting them in realizing their potential is crucial for building a robust society. Failure to do so could result in significant long-term repercussions.
