Hiring young people should be a smart, straightforward way to build your team, but it’s not always that simple. From navigating traineeships and funding to supporting mental health and keeping young staff engaged, it can feel overwhelming, especially when time is tight. But with the right advice and support, it’s absolutely doable, and it’s a smart move for the future of your business.

Mind the Gap is a practical, no-nonsense afternoon forum designed to help you cut through the confusion and get the tools you need to hire and keep people under 25 – confidently.

You’ll hear from local experts, connect with support services, and get honest advice from young people themselves. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to improve what you’re already doing, you’ll walk away with new insights, practical strategies, and a tailored pack of tools to take the next step.

  • practical, real-world advice on how to hire, support and retain young staff
