10 Good Reasons to Employ a
Young Person!

• Young people can add value to your business or organisation in different ways.
• Young people can enhance your business. Their freshness and youth mean they often bring fresh perspectives and smart ways of thinking about tasks – they are less likely to do it ‘the way it’s always been done’.
• Young people are accustomed to rapidly changing environments – this could help you grow your business.
• Young people will probably have very up-to-date computer skills.
• Young people are likely to be available at more flexible times.
• What starts as casual employment could become a long lasting relationship.
• Young people are good at finding out what they need to know.
• Young people can help your business develop an effective website.
• You can access funding for their training.
• It can be a cost effective way for you to recruit new staff
