#AccessYourTruePotential

Our peer panel has launched the campaign #AccessYourTruePotential to highlight the top concerns young people have when applying for jobs online and call on employers to change the way they attract and recruit. This campaign is launched on the back of the Employment Accessibility Report which saw our peer panel assess 600 employer websites and their job application processes.

The campaign and artwork were created by our intern and now peer panel member, Suraya Mayes, backed by our peer panel and validated by our interns Afra Padmore, Bryanna Khumalo and Kate McQuaid.

"At times I feel that my cultural background may create a barrier when I apply for work. I would love employers to have a blank application process to give all people a fair chance."

"Look at your job adverts and consider what you really need in a candidate and what skills they can either do without or pick up along the way."

Suraya

"When I didn't get feedback after a presentation I was left feeling that the company weren’t willing to take a chance on me as a younger person."
