Join our network of businesses changing the game for young people

What we're
trying to do.

Young people, especially those from disadvantaged or underrepresented backgrounds, are being left behind. Evidence set out in the Youth Matters: State of the Nation government paper tells us:

66%

young people (18 to 24) from disadvantaged backgrounds in the UK are 66% more likely to be NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training) than the average young person

40%

of young people (aged 11-24) from low income families in the UK said they were worried about their own or their families finances and the cost of living

15th

Place

The UK as a whole ranked number 15 out of 36 for skills at age 15 and 1 in 3 young people feel like they don’t know how to influence decisions taken in their local area.

27th

out of 27

Out of 27 European countries, the UK is last in how happy 15-year-olds are with their life.

We help bridge the gap between education and employment, connecting young people with forward-thinking businesses and CSR partners that can offer real-world opportunities, mentoring, and belief in their potential.

By joining forces with Unloc, companies become part of a growing corporate youth partnership network, helping to build confidence, develop employability skills, and create pathways into meaningful work through youth leadership and enterprise programmes.

These partnerships also engage employees in purposeful, social value initiatives that deliver measurable impact for both young people and business.

Together, we can change the statistics – and change the story for the next generation

Partnering with Business to Power the Next Generation of Changemakers

At Unloc, we believe the future of work should be built with young people,  not just for them. Our partnerships with leading businesses create bespoke initiatives that connect employers with the next generation of talent, giving young people across the UK the chance to develop real-world skills, explore emerging industries, and help shape the future of work. Through hands-on, purpose-driven experiences, our business partners and their employees engage directly with students to inspire confidence, creativity, and career curiosity. From co-designing challenges and mentoring sessions to delivering immersive skills days and enterprise programmes, each partnership is crafted to meet both business objectives and young people’s aspirations.
