What is Young Million?
Young Million is a campaign to give unemployed 18-25 year olds
in the UK the leadership development and skills they need to help
them stand out to potential employers.
Applying for jobs can be frustrating - endless applications,
competition, waiting and confusion about what employers are looking
for. Young Million will run free leadership workshops throughout
the UK to help build local networks, develop job skills, gain
confidence and connect with others going through the same
thing.
