#TheBestYou WEALTH & RICHES: THE BEST CANDIDATES
Employers often say to us they would like to hire more young people but they find it hard to find suitable candidates. The Best You wants to tackle that challenge head on by helping our young people become
The Best Candidates M
any employers in the current job market report how difficult it is to find a suitable candidate from the many young people who come to interview.
The employers' perception is often
that young adults leave school with few interpersonal skills and no idea what an employer wants. Mix this with perceived poor attitude and
an unrealistic expectation of what work offers them in the short term, and you have a generation that is, in the employer's words, "difficult to employ or unemployable". Whether this complaint is fair or not, the
fact is that a growing number of kids are claiming long-term benefit . A study in February 2012 showed that 20.4% of young adults between the age of 16 and 24 are currently out of work, which means that young adults urgently need help to get into employment. Our aim is to offer a free pilot scheme for
the young unemployed that will change their attitudes and thought processes to help them find their way into employment. At the same time, we want to offer for
this pilot scheme a guarantee of a number of interviews for apprenticeships and jobs for each of our students.
The Best Candidate Scheme We are fortunate enough to work with the most established authors and leaders within personal development and business, and are in a prime position to really make a difference. We can do that with The Best Candidate
scheme. Our specialists' number one priority will be to teach the young adults how to feel empowered in interview, and the attitudes they need to display to get work. We want them to understand the
importance of their thoughts and emotions and how to manage both.
