Young people 'need more assistance to step onto a career ladder'
More help is required for people making the transition from full-time education to working life.
This is the opinion of Carmen Watson, managing director of Pertemps Recruitment Partnership, who believes that young individuals are in need of further assistance by employers so that this task can be undertaken with more ease.
In fact, the expert estimated that the changes to youth unemployment "will be where the battle is won or lost in 2012".
Therefore, she advised: "Young people must do more to perfect the way they approach perspective employers, but at the same time, employers must be prepared to aid young people who are making the transition from education to full time work for the first time."
Ms Watson's views come soon after a study conducted by Totaljobs.com revealed that on average 23 people are seeking each job opportunity in the UK at the moment.
This figure rises to 33 applicants per vacancy in the south east of the nation.
