International Youth Day | Join One Million Pathways with WORK180
You've helped raise the bar for women at work. Now help open the door for the next generation.
A generation of young Australians is being left behind. Youth unemployment has climbed to 11.1%, up from 8.4% just two years ago (ABS); the entry-level jobs young people used to start in are being automated away, and a degree no longer guarantees a way in. Meanwhile, employers can’t fill the roles they have open. The talent exists. The opportunities exist. What's broken are the pathways connecting them.
This is bigger than any one organisation, and WORK180 can't fix it alone. That's exactly why we're launching the One Million Pathways Pledge; our ambition to help one million young Australians into meaningful work by 2032 by bringing employers, educators, industry, and government together around a shared commitment to creating better pathways into work. As a WORK180 Endorsed Employer, you're uniquely positioned to help lead the solution.
Gemma Lloyd, CEO of WORK180, invites you to this special edition Knowledge Share session, where she'll share how we're backing the pledge with something practical: WORK180 Early Careers. It's a new platform that helps young people discover careers they're naturally suited to, connecting them with apprenticeships, traineeships, graduate programs, and entry-level opportunities based on their interests and aptitude, not just their qualifications or experience.
Join us for an exclusive 30-minute briefing on 11 August, the day before International Youth Day, as we soft launch WORK180 Early Careers. You'll be among the first to:
Become one of the founding signatories of the One Million Pathways Pledge.
See the new WORK180 Early Careers platform before its public launch.
Learn how high-potential early career talent can discover opportunities with your organisation.
Access exclusive Founding Partner pricing, reserved for Endorsed Employers before 1 October.
Together, we can create better pathways into work for the next generation while helping employers build the workforce they'll need for the future.
We look forward to seeing you.
