Hello to all Employers,
I need help please from employers willing to share their experiences of employing young people straight from an educational institution.
I am specifically researching why there appears to be a very high "fall out" of young people who having successfully gained their first job, simply go on to leave within a year. Please give examples irrespective of reason for leaving be it they were dismissed or simply left of their own accord.
(Did you later wish you had kept them on?)
I am collating information to enable a comprehensive paper on this very subject.
Please send me personal stories of both your bad and good experiences of employing a young person who left your business in their first year.
Note: The report is aimed specifically at the first 12 months of a youngsters working life. The study will attempt to evaluate the effectiveness of existing work carried out by schools, colleges and universities in the preparation of students for a life in the workplace. However, the main objective is to help young people become employable so that they can enjoy a successful and productive career.
(Remember; good experiences are also welcome)
Pease supply examples of "First time job seekers/employees" specifically:
1) Poor Job applications.
2) Bad Interview experiences.
3) Bad examples of a young person’s general work ethic and/or performance/behaviour.
4) Incidents leading to young person dismissal.
5) Incident/s or reason why the young person left your employment.
(Comments will be treated as anonymous upon request)

Many thanks in anticipation
