Employability Day 2024 - Employment Support for Every Citizen
Created: 30/08/2024This year, Employability Day is on Friday 13 September 2024.
The day is an opportunity for employment support organisations and employers to celebrate their hard work supporting people to enter or progress in employment. It allows them to celebrate their success and drive understanding across key stakeholders at local, regional and national level.
This year’s theme is Employment Support for Every Citizen.
Who can take part?
Any organisation that supports people to enter or progress in work can get involved in Employability Day, including charities, businesses, employers, social enterprises, local authorities, housing associations and community groups.
Elizabeth Taylor, CEO of Employment Related Services Association said "Employability Day is a great opportunity to raise awareness about the great work of the employment support sector. Organisations should use the day to demonstrate their own successes and the success of the wider sector.
"Despite record levels of employment and vacancies, the number of economically inactive people, particularly older workers, is growing. This Employability Day, we are championing the work of employment support providers who are well placed to help fill these vacancies and tackle the current participation crisis.
"Every single vacancy that our sector fills helps to transform the lives of individuals and their communities."
