Introduction to Movement to work

​Organisation: ​  DYW and Movement to Work
Date:    Monday 20th March
Time:  12:30pm - 1:15pm

Whether you're an employer, training provider or outreach organisation, this session explores how you can provide young people with transformative experiences through Movement to Work.
Movement to Work (MtW) is a not-for-profit coalition of UK employers, youth-outreach organisations, training providers and government allies, all aiming to level the professional playing field for young people aged 16-30. With hundreds of organisational members, Movement to Work has a proven track record of driving social mobility through business to business connection, with over 150,000 work placements delivered to date.
Movement to Work operates in a world of opportunity and seeks to break the vicious ‘no experience – no job’ cycle that is preventing young people, not currently in education, employment or training, from stepping onto the career ladder. By supporting organisations in providing quality vocational employment and work placement opportunities, Movement to Work helps to drive both business performance and bring about lasting social change.
During this session we will hear from Nicola Reid, the Head of Regional Development for Movement to Work who works with employers directly to pledge, create and enhance quality work experience opportunities for young people across the UK.
We will also be joined by Gillian Dalziel who is the lead for Diageo’s Movement to Work programme within the UK, Diageo Learning for Life. Gillian has a long career leading on early career programmes including apprenticeships, graduate and internships as well as partnering with Talent Engagement on the recruitment of apprentices. She will discuss Diageo’s Movement to Work pledge/programme and how she has found working with Movement to Work.
Please note: This session will be held virtually on MS Teams. A link will be forwarded in advance of the session. We plan to record this session to share for reflection after the event
