Our Work With Government

Unlock the potential of every young person. 

Working with government, MPs, civil servants and wider industry, we aim to make sure that every young person is given the opportunity to build the skills, confidence, and mindset to thrive in work and life.

Financial Education

We are long-term campaigners for improved financial education in schools, as well as the Secretariat to the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Financial Education for Young People, we are proud members of the Youth Financial Capability Group and we organise the Financial Education Forum.

Work-readiness

We campaign for the education system to embed essential skills, experiences of work and employer interaction opportunities at all ages and stages, so young people are better prepared for the future world of work.

My money week in parliment

Last year we worked with 482,000+ young people, helping them to develop key employability and financial capability skills. Currently we work with 46% of secondary schools in the UK, including 57% of those in the 30% most deprived areas.

Our programmes have a tangible impact on the jobs market: within two years, 95% of Company Programme alumni are in Education, Employment or training, 7% higher than the national average.

Our advocacy work includes: 

  • Meeting with ministers and MPs to outline the impact of Young Enterprise on young people
  • Providing secretariat for the all-party parliamentary group on financial education for young people
  • Providing evidence to select committees and other parliamentary inquiries
  • Showcasing the impact of our work to politicians in schools in their constituencies
