Mock interviews

3. Employ young people

Spear graduates have brought a huge amount to our business – 10% of our workforce are now Spear graduates. They’re quick learners, they’re keen and they inspire the rest of our staff by their enthusiasm. I’d really encourage any business to consider hiring Spear graduates.

Just sending you a quick note to thank you (the Spear team and the trainees) for such a wonderful evening yesterday. It was really inspiring (and equally empowering) to see the incredible growth of the young people. The extent to which their maturity and confidence has developed since we saw them at the company visit, just a few weeks ago, is remarkable!

Spear's goal for its young people is not only to get them into work, but also to ensure that they sustain and progress in employment to become financially independent adults. It is one of the very few programmes in the country that has an innovative approach to coach young people for one full year to secure a job and help them progress their career.
