Useful Link

Useful Link is an organisation that empowers students by running employment workshops in schools to help young people prepare for employment.

Unemployment is one of the leading global challenges affecting young people today. Never in the history of the world have we had so many qualified individuals and so little jobs. Useful Link seeks to empower our youth to tackle these and other issues affecting them. This is to ensure that our youth learn to be proactive with securing their futures. We also believe that the responsibility of dealin

g with this issue lies with everyone. When Government, Not for Profits, businesses, and the youth all come together, change can occur. We seek to be the link between the youth and the people who can help create a difference in their lives. We achieve this by speaking to students, policy makers, and businesses alike. We interpret the issues to either side acting as a "Useful Link" to help bring about solutions. We have a simple message; "Do what you can, where you are, with what you have." It's amazing what can happen when everyone plays their part. We are playing ours lets work together and see what part you can play.

Do you think young people can be the drivers of transforming education so they can be better equipped for work?

Great Read!

Today is International Youth Day, and the 2019 theme is ‘transforming education’. We asked our online community if they believe young people can be the drivers of transformational change. It was a resounding ‘yes’, and we agree!
