The group of employers work collaboratively to support young people, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, ensuring every young person has access to high-quality experiences with employers and understands the opportunities available to them.
By working with cornerstone employers, we're providing young people with opportunities to develop their skills, experiences of the workplace and awareness of career pathways here in West Yorkshire.
