Catch LSN at the NIACE Employability and Young Adults Conference

This conference is designed to help you reflect on the current policy and practice regarding young adults transition into work. Hear new and critical perspectives and have the opportunity to shape the emerging debate and agenda.

Encouraging and enabling more young adults (aged 16-25) into employment has long been a central focus of government policy.  To reduce the number of young adults not in employment, education or training (NEET), the government has greatly reformed the learning and skills "offer" for this age group.  There are many issues still being debated, such as what the skills and qualities most needed by employers are and how they can best be developed?

LSN Speakers - Employability Skills Explored
Head of Special Projects Frank Villeneuve-Smith discusses research findings and there implications for employability and young adults.
