What the petition asks
Create a Government scheme to help young people find work experience, creating opportunities specifically for young people. These opportunities could include litter picking, gardening, cleaning, distributing advertising leaflets, and delivering post.
We think getting a job as a young person can be tough especially if experience is required, so that's why we think young people deserve a head start so they get new opportunities and then it's not so much of a scary jump to the adult world. Also we think this would help build cv skills and help more young people get careers in what they enjoy in the future!
