Around one million young people in the UK are not in education, employment or training. Movement to Work exists to break the cycle of "no experience, no job" that keeps them there.
Since 2013 our coalition of employers has delivered more than 250,000 opportunities: work experience, apprenticeships and jobs. That work has generated an estimated £262 million in gross value added to the UK economy, and we are now working towards 500,000 opportunities by 2032. The reports and figures below show what that impact looks like, for young people, for the businesses that back them, and for the UK economy.
