The terms of reference set out areas of focus for the group.
It was to:
- Explore ways to develop opportunities for young people to gain training, work experience and employment opportunities
- Investigate how the ways in which young people approach employment and training opportunities might be enhanced by
- raising their own self esteem and attitudes towards their role in society;
- Look at ways to support young people to fulfil their potential
- Consider how best to encourage young people to be positive role models in their local communities and beyond
The recommendations were clustered into five themes:
- Youth led approach
- Volunteering
- Apprenticeships
- Social enterprise and the third sector
- Wellbeing
