EMPLOYERS

Action4Youth is participant centric CONNECTING you with your future team members and SUPPORTING you to build a business culture and reputation as a great place to work.

Action4Youth brings together the best in the business to support our agricultural businesses to be the best they can be.

“In evaluating who to work with and for, young people are increasingly conscious of the values and public reputation of employers 53% of young people think businesses are stuck in the past and not up to date with the modern workforce…. 36% feel overwhelmed, confused or fearful about deciding on a career…. 31% of job seekers claim they would reconsider accepting a job offer because their values didn’t resonate with the company’s values – Indeed Group Survey 2018.”

Action4Youth collaborates with employers who have a reputation for building a culture of great places to work for the employees of tomorrow.

These workplaces attract loyal, long-term, happy and hard-working employees who enjoy stable pay and respect at work, while achieving their ambitions to make a difference in the world.

Terms such as flexible working environments, mental health and well-being, inclusion, transparency, mattering, net positive and equitable are used in the New World of Work and Action4Youth offers a series of workshops to support our agricultural businesses to navigate this sometimes confusing path.

Employer champions believe in young people and their capabilities, and the value that young people bring to the workplace and their community. Employer Champions build youth employment pathways and economic development in their communities.
