MOVEMENT TO WORK

The Launch Group is an approved training provider partner for the Movement to Work initiative. As part of ‘The Youth Engagement Network’, TLG helps develop our employer partners programmes, ensuring young people have the opportunity to develop and showcase their talent.

40% of unemployed people in the UK are aged 16-24

In a time of ‘full employment’ it is not acceptable that 16-24 year olds are three times more likely to be unemployed.

Young people are often trapped in a ‘no job, no experience’ cycle which stops them getting onto the career ladder. However, society cannot leave behind the 790,000 young people who find themselves not in education, employment or training (NEET).

Employers are in a unique position to bring about lasting change – by creating opportunities that can unlock the potential of young people and mitigate against the economic cost of youth unemployment in the UK.

OUR MOVEMENT TO WORK PARTNERS

SPIRAX SARCO:

“In 2022 we piloted our first BreakThrough 6-month traineeship programme at Spirax, and we couldn’t have done it without the support of TLG! Their dedication and commitment to our programme has helped the process run smoothly and we have received some wonderful feedback throughout the last 6 months. TLG helped us gain 12 BreakThrough recruits and 5 of our BreakThrough colleagues have been offered permanent and fixed term contracts with us. I look forward to working with TLG again for our 2nd programme in 2023”

MBDA:

“The Launch Group are a brilliant bunch! They are experienced and passionate about what they do and they worked hard to help us execute the pilot ‘Movement’ to Work Programme at MBDA. The on-site delivery of the programme was excellent, and it was clear that Francesca and the team were committed to young people on the programme and producing positive outcomes”
