UK 18- to 24-year-olds: we would like to hear your experiences of trying to find a job

Almost a million young people in the UK are not in education, employment or training (Neet).

This week, the government announced the launch of an independent investigation into the issue, which Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, Pat McFadden has called a “crisis of opportunity”.

He added: “We cannot afford to lose a generation of young people to a life on benefits, with no work prospects and not enough hope.”

We would like to hear from 18- to 24-year-olds in the UK about their experiences of trying to find a job. How have you found it? Did you get a job? Or are you still looking for one? What would you like to see changed to help with finding employment? Tell us.
