Life is Rarely Linear. Our Education System Should Stop Pretending that it is | Love this article from @RomanDibden Sharing first hand personal experience and rethinking how we support young people into work, rerouting back into education, skills and employment (particularly when life happens)... and how we can all be more like Linda.. check it out below (along with a particularly cool @andyburnham story): FE News fenews.co.uk/exclusive/life-… #NEETs #CareersAdvice

Charlie Stayt said it was the best smile of the day. Who am I to argue? 😅 Let’s all keep this vibe going this weekend.☀️ #BBCBreakfast

Kicked off my day on @LBC sharing this story. A young man lost his job. The Job Centre never even asks to see his CV.🤯 Just: 35 hours of job search every week. If that’s the support on offer, we shouldn’t be surprised when the system struggles. Young people deserve better.

Great to join @iancollinsuk on @TalkTV discussing youth unemployment. I meet brilliant young people who do want to work. I also speak to employers who want to help but are overwhelmed and unsure where to start. We need to build structured pathways that work for both. 🤷‍♂️

I said this live on BBC One yesterday and I won’t walk it back: That headline is utterly ridiculous. ‘Young people won’t work for less than £40k’? Come on. 🤯 Young people aren’t entitled. They’re navigating broken systems.

Every day at RISE UP we meet young people who WANT to work. When you give them paid pathways, support and a fair chance, they thrive. The ‘lazy youth’ narrative belongs in the bin 👊

200,000 more young people are out of a job today compared to a year ago. I visited Rise Up - a fabulous charity in Manchester - to see how they’re helping young people get work-ready and into jobs. We can’t afford to lose a generation of talent.

‘We’re painting all young people with the same brush.’ Roman, who works in youth employment, tells @NickFerrariLBC he’s wrong about Gen Z’s work ethic.

'There are people in the jobs office telling people not to work?' 'Exactly that.' 'That's crazy.' Charity worker @RomanDibden reveals young people are being advised to stay on benefits as they won't be able to afford 'disproportionately high rents'. @TomSwarbrick1 is stunned.

Great to be on @bbcsml this morning discussing calls to raise the pension age. I believe we should focus on the 872K young people that are currently unemployed along with plugging the skills gaps. What are your views? 👇 #BBCSML
