Seetec is Backing Young Britain by encouraging staff to consider becoming an employee mentor to local young people who are seeking employment.

Backing Young Britain is a new Government campaign calling on organisations to create more opportunities for young people. Times are tough for young people who are leaving school or full-time education this summer. Yet they are the future of our workforce and it’s vital that they get the help they need now, to find a job, get training, or build their work skills and experience. We can and should all play our part.

Seetec is already developing the very best in fresh new talent and already:

• We work closely with Local Employment Partnerships across the country. 
• We have been a part of the Graduate Talent Pool since July 2009, offering paid nationwide internships to recent graduates.
• We are actively bidding to broker jobs, work experience and training under various elements of the Young Persons Guarantee.
• In a new effort to show our commitment, our Chief Executive, Directors, Managers and many employees have made a pledge to mentor a school or university leaver
• Seetec has already signed up to the Skills Pledge, helping all employees to reach Level 2 or equivalent with numeracy and literacy.
  

Why don’t you pledge to become a volunteer mentor for a school or university leaver, offer work experience or work trial places, offer internships or apprenticeships, join a Local Employment Partnership, or bid for funding from the Future Jobs Fund?
