The UK already has youth mobility schemes with Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Korea, Andorra, Iceland, Japan, Monaco, San Marino, Uruguay, Taiwan, and Hong Kong - it makes sense to have one with our neighbours. Usually these are for 4 years, after which people return home. It would have big cultural and professional development benefits, alongside economic benefits for the UK, to allow filling of skilled positions with talent from across Europe. Returning people will bring back skills, further benefiting our economy.
We need to step up to give our young people the opportunities taken from them by Brexit! Sign the petition now.
We, the undersigned, demand that the government negotiate a youth mobility scheme with the EU, allowing our young people to access more opportunities (jobs, apprenticeships and study) on the continent. We want our young people to have more opportunities!
