The Debate Episode: Reducing Youth Unemployment and Young People's Responsibility
Listen now
Description
It's the final episode of Catch22Minutes' Youth Employment series. In this first series, we have focussed on youth unemployment and the challenges ahead. We have heard from employers and charities, from those working directly with young people and from those operating in specific job sectors. We’ve talked about what needs to be done to reduce the employment gap and support young people into good, sustainable jobs.  While we have shared young peoples' stories in every episode, today we are joined by David Jordan Khanu and Bipin Khanal, members of the Mayor of London’s Violence Reduction Unit’s Young People’s Advisory Group. They'll be responding to the question: Is reducing youth unemployment as much the responsibility of young people as it of government, businesses and others? You'll hear about Jordan and Bipin's lives and what has helped them at the very start of their career journey. Jordan is currently studying sports and exercise science at the University of Portsmouth, and Bipin has recently launched his design business, Illustrated Prints.
