Based in Bristol, we know that preparing the next generation for the world of work doesn’t start with job ads or interviews — it starts early, with education, exposure, and opportunity.
As working parents ourselves, we understand the importance of setting young people on the right path, not just for their future careers, but for the stability and strength of the future workforce we all rely on.
In November 2024, the UK government released its Get Britain Working white paper, outlining a Youth Guarantee: a promise to give all school and college students in England two weeks of meaningful work experience.
But right now, only 36% of secondary students have access to any kind of work experience, and only a fraction of those placements are in fields they’re genuinely interested in (Youth Voice Census).
Now is the time for employers to step up. This initiative creates real opportunities for young people to step into professional environments and explore career paths before they leave full-time education, helping them build confidence, understand expectations, and make informed decisions about their futures.
Why Your Business Should Get Involved
By offering work placements, site visits, career talks, virtual sessions, or real-life project experiences, you can:
Inspire and guide future talent
Build a pipeline of early career candidates and apprentices
Tackle industry skills shortages
Boost your brand with students, parents, and educators
Strengthen your CSR and community presence
Increase staff morale through mentoring opportunities
These aren’t just ‘nice to have’ initiatives, they’re strategic investments in your business’s future and the strength of the UK workforce.
Partnering for Purpose
Resolve Recruitment Services proudly collaborates with local schools in and around Bristol to support work experience and career readiness. Whether you’re a small business or a large employer, you can make a real difference.
Let’s work together to help young people see what’s possible. A single conversation or a week spent in a real workplace could be the spark that shapes an entire future.
Let’s build the future – together.
Together, we can make a lasting impact, as employers, as working parents, and as a community.
