13.6%
Across Stoke-on-Trent, many young people with disadvantaged backgrounds aged 14-24 struggle to access meaningful work experience, employment pathways, or mentoring opportunities.
With 13.6% of young people not in education, employment or training (NEET), the challenge is real - and growing.
Join Stoke-on-Trent City Council, Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce, YMCA, and Made in Stoke to make a real difference.
We're uniting businesses to create a seismic shift in how we support young people with a disadvantaged background, inspiring their engagement with the world of work and their pride in our city.
