Following the success of last year’s Youth Employment Conference, we are excited to announce that the second ERSA Youth Employment Conference will take place on September 17th in Sunderland at the Beacon of Light, home of ERSA member Foundation of Light. This
full-day conference focusing on the most critical issues in Youth Employment practice and policy.
Tickets are priced at £50 for ERSA members and £100 for non-members. A limited number of bursary places will be available. Please contact youthpolicy@ersa.org.uk to inquire.
We have sponsorship opportunities that will showcase the work of employment and skills providers, there is also an exhibition area and opportunities to speak at the conference. Please get in touch with youthpolicy@ersa.org.uk to learn more.
This is your day and it is the showcase of the employment support sector.
Initiated and co ordinated by ERSA, Employability Day is well established and presents an opportunity for the whole sector to come together and demonstrate the impactful work on individuals and communities.
The employment support sector has the solutions to Get Britain Working, we have the expertise and knowledge to deliver Pathways to Work. This is the day when we showcase and shine!
Employability Day is deliberately on a Friday because elected representatives are usually in their constituency that day. But it has been tradition for events to also take place in the days before and after. Whatever and whenever please let ERSA know what you are doing.
ERSA will be writing to every elected parliamentarian, elected mayors and council leaders. We encourage you to also write and invite them to visit you.
There have been years when #EmpDay trended number one on social media – lets make that happen again! #EmpDay25
This year’s theme is Inactivity to Opportunity to Good Work
Let’s utilise Employability Day 2025 to champion the sector and campaign for sustained, long-term funding for solutions that benefit communities, employers and most importantly the people we support.
ERSA’s free resources for Employability Day 2025 will be released in the coming days.
ERSA also supports Youth Employment UK’s Youth Employment Week 7 – 11 Jul 2025.
One of the exclusive benefits for members is access to our schedule of events. These include networking and influencing events on topics of interest to the sector, regular forums to encourage skill-sharing and collaboration, and Expert Webinars where you can learn from thought leaders in the employability space.
