SUMMARY:Youth\, Skills and the First Rung: What employers need to know now
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nYoung people want to work but accessing that first opport
 unity is becoming increasingly difficult.\n\nAt the same time\, significan
 t changes are taking place across apprenticeships and skills\, creating bo
 th new opportunities and new questions for employers.\n\nTo help businesse
 s understand what is changing and what it means in practice\, The Opportun
 ity Provider is hosting a free webinar:\nYouth\, Skills and the First Rung
 : What employers need to know now\n\nHosted by: Matt Robinson - Chief Comm
 ercial Officer\, The Opportunity Provider with\, Lauren Mistry - Deputy CE

 ployment\, the changing apprenticeship and skills environment and the role
  employers can play in rebuilding the first rung into work.\n\nIt will als

 hether a young person is ready for work\, should employers also be asking 
 whether their organisation is ready to employ someone entering work for th
 e first time?\n\nThe session will look at how employers can create genuine
  entry opportunities alongside the support\, development and progression t
 hat turn a first job into the beginning of a career.\n\nThe webinar is fre
