Flick the 'swich - Employment and Transitions to Independence

The third of four youth forums, discussing local issues from a youth perspective.

The employment and transitions to independence forum will look to:

  • open a conversation with the Ipswich community about what young people dream of for their future
  • identify different challenges being experienced by young people across Ipswich in accessing employment and transitioning to independence
  • discuss opportunities for young people – early mentorship, future skills and industries, innovation and entrepreneurship, pathways to home ownership, local places and spaces for young people to enjoy and socialise
  • identify what young people need in order to live, work, play and thrive in Ipswich – has this changed since Covid-19?

You ask the questions!

If you’re submitting a question for our panellists, we ask that you submit this in writing or as a pre-recorded video by Wednesday 14th October 2020.
