Committed to youth job creation

EY global commitment to fight youth unemployment was reinforced today at the launch of the Alliance for Youth (AfY) in Vevey, Switzerland.

"Youth unemployment is one of the world's most intractable challenges," explains EY Global Corporate Sustainability Leader Nicky Major. "In addition to the thousands of young people we hire, we help thousands more develop the skills needed to join the working world as employees or as young entrepreneurs." The AfY is one of many examples of EY's commitment to collaborate with others in support of youth employment.
Nestlé and EY leading the charge

EY is a founding member of the AfY, an initiative spearheaded by Nestlé to help leading businesses address high levels of youth unemployment in many parts of Europe. AfY recognizes the role that businesses can play by providing good jobs and valuable training.
Many other great companies joining

Together with Nestlé and other organizations such as Google, Facebook, AXA, Publicis and Twitter, we are attending the high-profile event, which includes a media briefing and live debate featuring young people, business leaders and politicians.

Global Recruiting Leader Shirley Jackson is representing EY at the event along with two young people we have helped start careers. "As part of our AfY membership, we are signatories to the European Alliance for Apprenticeships, which promotes traineeship and apprenticeship initiatives across Europe," says Jackson. "These are vital ways of ensuring high-quality opportunities for young people."
