The Youth Guarantee Trailblazer is a new initiative aimed at supporting young people aged 18–21 in our region to find work, training, or apprenticeships. As an employer, you can play a vital role in this effort, while also benefiting your organisation.

Through the Trailblazer, you’ll be able to access specialist support to help you connect with motivated young people who are keen to learn, work and grow, people who share your values and are looking for the right opportunity to get started.
