The Paths2Work research team is delighted to announce a Project Launch Event, to take place on Thursday 13^th November 2014 at the University of Warwick.

Audience and agenda: This event will bring together regional policy-makers, employers and representatives of organisations that work with young people and are concerned about their transitions from education to employment. In this half-day event, a team presentation about the research project Paths2Work will be delivered while a number of leading regional stakeholders will talk about the issues from their perspectives. What do they see as the key issues in the Midlands Youth Labour Market with reference to the education, training and opportunities for work experience; paid and unpaid?

The aims of the event are:

• To inform relevant stakeholders and policy makers in the Midlands about a large, multi-institutional ESRC-funded project exploring young people’s transitions from education to employment in the Midlands, with a focus on the increasing incidence of work experience, unpaid work and involuntary temporary and part-time work
• To invite stakeholders in the Midlands to contribute their insights and views regarding this project in order to ensure that we are asking the right questions and the project output will be of relevance to groups and individuals concerned with young people’s transitions into employment in the Midlands; and
• To initiate a Midlands Youth Labour Market Forum, to share research findings from a range of relevant projects and discuss issues of concern to members, with meetings alternating among the research partner universities

This project addresses high priority social, economic and policy-related issues and has the potential to make a huge impact at regional and national levels.

Places at this free event are limited. If you would like to be register interest in the project and/or would like to attend the launch event, please click here.
