Young people in Britain have boundless talent and enthusiasm which means that they have a lot to bring to employers. But they also find it difficult to get jobs in the first place as they don’t start with lots of experience. As a result, young people are disproportionately represented amongst the ranks of the unemployed; four in every ten unemployed people are under 25. Microsoft has launched Young Britain Works to provide work experience opportunities for young people and to equip young people with the resources to secure that all important first job.
