YMCA research found that young people living in supported accommodation were stuck in a cycle of unemployment due to barriers created by the benefits system.
From the costs of transport to work-appropriate clothing, there are many hurdles to overcome by young people in supported accommodation as they transition into work.
We hope this webinar will be informative and inspire you to play your part in ending youth unemployment and setting young people on a path to independence.
