How can you help create a brighter future for Burnley?

Create entry level job roles for young people and send the details of these roles to us.

Redesign your recruitment approach so that it is more appropriate for young people:
• Focus on skills rather than qualifications.
• Consider the language you use throughout the recruitment process.
• Try a different approach and give more options that go beyond applications forms including videos, work trials and insight days.

Reach out to local schools to offer work experience opportunities.
