Laura Jane Rawlings, MBE, the dynamic founder and CEO of Youth Employment UK, joins us to shed light on the powerful impact of incorporating young voices in employment policy-making. Through her inspiring narrative, Laura highlights the organization's mission and the significance of their annual Youth Voice Census, which offers a detailed look at the experiences and challenges faced by young people, especially from minority groups. We also touch on her thought-provoking publication, "The Labels We Give Young People," which critiques societal views on youth and offers actionable insights into supporting them effectively.
Navigating the complex landscape of funding and partnerships, Laura shares candid insights into the obstacles her organization faces, including the struggle for financial backing without established funder relationships. She emphasizes the critical role of a commercial model for social enterprises and the importance of collaboration across government, private, and third sectors. Our discussion also covers strategic alliances with entities like the Careers and Enterprise Company and the National Citizen Service, all while stressing the evolving role of schools in providing customized career advice to our youth.
In the final segment, Laura delves into the disparities in youth employment support, sharing poignant personal stories that underscore the need for individualized interventions. She discusses the profound impact parental support—or lack thereof—can have on a young person's career path and calls for more comprehensive support systems, particularly for those in care. We wrap up by exploring the effects of government policies on youth employment and the importance of cohesive, integrated strategies to create a supportive environment for young people. Through it all, Laura's dedication to becoming a better leader and her reliance on her senior team shine through, illustrating her unwavering commitment to improving the lives of young people.
