The publication of the Milburn Review is expected to be a significant moment in the Government’s programme of reform to support young people into work and improve employment outcomes across the UK. The review is anticipated to include recommendations for policy reform and legislative change, with implications for government, employers, local authorities, education providers and the wider employment support sector.

This webinar will provide one of the first opportunities to explore what the review means in practice and discuss its implications with leading experts from across the sector.

The event will feature reflections from Learning and Work Institute’s leadership alongside contributions from external experts and sector stakeholders. Together, they will explore:

  • The most significant findings and recommendations from the Milburn Review
  • What the proposals could mean for young people seeking work
  • The implications for employers and the role they can play in improving opportunities
  • What local authorities and local partnerships may need to do differently
  • The practical challenges of implementation
  • Areas where further action or debate may be required

By joining the session, you will gain valuable insights into one of the most important developments in youth employment policy this year.
