A review of the jobs market and the latest employment stats showed a marked increase in the unemployment, with significant impact on women and youth 16-24. On the subject of youth employment or more specifically employability comments from interested members of the public, business owners/prospective recruiters noted that young people... Lacked the skills required of business ... Struggle with commitment... and ... Have questionable time keeping.
Similar sentiments were shared within a live discussion with Joanne Gordon, Managing Director, Elite Telesales, who felt that young people lacked the communication skills required to be successful in business; most notably, the ability to build rapport and adapt their language and communication style to the needs of the audience.
Food for thought! It is this sort of commentary from business leaders and recruiters that informed our Youth coaching offer and more specifically our First 2 Present development programme. If you are interested in finding out more please click here. |
