Covid-19, it’s impact on young people, communities, and careers

The last 18 months have had a significant impact on young people. Economically, over 37,000 18–24-year-olds in the West Midlands are currently out of work (as of September 2021) and research suggests that many are concerned about the pandemic having damaged their career prospects.

To fully understand the impact of the past 18 months on young people, Beatfreaks and BMet College have launched a report following research into three prinicipal trends believed to be particularly pertinent for young people in our region.

Come and join us for a panel discussion where the author of this report, Fabio Thomas, Insight Manager at Beatfreeks, will take us through the findings. We will also be joined by representatives from the regional business community, sharing their insights on how we can work together to support this generation.
