Partnership opportunities

Partner with YES 2026

Position your organisation at the centre of one of the most important policy and economic discussions taking place in the UK today, alongside the leaders shaping youth employment, skills and social mobility.

Wednesday 2 Dec 2026 · Central Hall Westminster, London

Welcome

A conversation with young people, not just about them

The publication of Alan Milburn’s landmark review into youth opportunity has brought renewed focus to one of the defining challenges facing the UK over the coming decade: ensuring every young person has the opportunity, support and skills needed to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

At a time when over one million young people are not in education, employment or training, and employers continue to report significant skills shortages across key sectors, the challenge is clear. Yet so too is the opportunity. The Youth Employment Summit brings together the people best placed to drive meaningful change: government ministers, policymakers, civil servants, employers, educators, training providers, local authorities, charities and social mobility organisations.

For partners, the summit is a powerful platform for organisations committed to expanding opportunity, supporting social mobility and helping shape the future of work.
