Youth Careers Collective (formerly Spark!) exist to enhance young people’s employability skills, knowledge, experience and access, so they are better prepared for and able to transition into employment and rewarding careers. Youth Careers Collective works in close partnership with education, a diverse range of employers, local councils, charities and funders. We focus on supporting young people with identified barriers to entering employment, developing their employability skills, knowledge, experience and access, so they are better prepared for and able to transition into the workplace and rewarding careers.

• Our Vision. A society in which all young people are ready, equipped, motivated, and able to enter the world of work and pursue rewarding careers.
• Our Mission. To ensure all young people, particularly those who will most benefit, have access to meaningful employer engagement, work readiness skills development, and employment opportunities, enabling them to transition into sustained work and rewarding careers.
