How can you help?

You can offer a young person something many struggle to access: a real opportunity. This might involve a few hours of part-time work each week, a short work experience placement, or the chance to shadow your team.

You could provide a trial shift or a structured introduction to your workplace, helping them understand what it means to be part of a team and to contribute in a meaningful way. By taking these small steps, you help a young person build confidence, develop key skills, and begin their journey into the world of work.

The benefits extend beyond the individual. Young people bring enthusiasm, fresh perspectives, and a strong desire to prove themselves. With the right support, they can quickly become valuable members of your team. StepInJobs makes it easy to connect with motivated young people in your local area. As a social enterprise, we are committed to supporting both employers and young people.

Together, we can create fairer access to employment and help build a stronger, more inclusive local economy. Your decision to offer someone a chance could change a life and bring long-term value to your business.

Practical ways employers can get involved

Offer Part-Time or Weekend Jobs

Even a few hours a week can give a young person valuable experience, boost their confidence, and provide an income.
A short-term placement helps young people understand workplace expectations and develop core skills—even a week can make a big difference.

Create a Work Experience Placement

Become a Mentor or Work Buddy

Pair a young employee with an experienced team member to guide them through their first job. A little mentoring goes a long way.

Support a ‘First Chance’ Hire

Give someone their first ever job. It’s often the hardest one to get—and the most life-changing.
Many young people balance work with education. Flexibility helps them succeed—and keeps your team energised.
