Journey to Work – Another Level Up

Journey to Work – A Success Story

The Journey to Work Programme is been a success story from the beginning. Currently We are running Journey to Work 6 and we are still going strong. The skills mismatch in the youth labour markets has become a persistent and growing trend. Many of these young people are not only early-school leavers, lacking qualifications, relevant skills & work experience but more and more it affects third-level graduates who cannot find a first job. Nordström/Skans (2011) show that an unemployment spell of more than 51 days subsequent graduation increases the probability of unemployment 5 years later. The Corona pandamic and unpaid internship schemes did not help as well. That’s why Journey to Work kicks in !
