I'm watching the news and the recession (or "looming" recession) and the impact on young people trying to enter the workforce is really depressing.
I know it will have a significant impact on other people too, but I remember trying to get my first job during the 2008 recession and how hard it was and the toll it took on my confidence, self worth etc. so this particular issue resonates with me.
I'm wondering what I can do to help. I'm not an employer unfortunately, so can't recruit. Would providing guidance with job applications be useful? Mentoring? Or would volunteering for a charity that focuses on young people and their mental health be better? Or is it all too futile? Maybe volunteer for an organisation that lobbies government on the matter?
I'm just not sure. Any suggestions from mumsnetters out there?

How can I help young people who are/will be struggling to enter the workforce?
