The continuing impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on a whole generation of young people, now aged 14-25, cannot be ignored.
Affected by the need to overcome educational setbacks, diminished social connections and increased mental health issues, they now face a raft of other worries: a much more challenging job market, the rising cost of living, housing insecurity...
It’s a tough time to be young.
The potential costs of ‘losing’ this generation are huge:
20% of the UK workforce could be significantly under-skilled for their jobs by 2030 (Industrial Skills Strategy Council)
Organisations, of every size and kind, are now recognising that there is an urgent skills gap and are looking for meaningful - and practical - ways to identify and build the diverse future talent needed to address it.
Involvement in 1MM mentoring programmes offer employers a means to:
- Directly invest in the future of young people and their local community
- Enable employees develop their leadership skills in support of a meaningful cause
- Bridge cultural/generational knowledge and skills gaps
Every young person deserves fair access to quality education and entry into sustainable, satisfying employment...
... and our future economic success depends on it!
1MM has a track record of delivering successful programmes – 60 new programmes launched in the last 12 months – through enabling safe & effective relationships between mentors - from employers and local communities - and the young people who need help.
