Auchrannie Resort back the Young Person’s Guarantee

Auchrannie Resort on the Isle of Arran has become the first Ayrshire business to back the Young Person’s Guarantee.

Launched in November 2020 the Young Person’s Guarantee is part of the economic response in Scotland to the pandemic, and to avoid a generation of young people falling into long-term unemployment. The Guarantee connects young people with learning and work and aims that within two years every 16-24 year old will have the chance to succeed through the opportunity of a job, apprenticeship, education, training or volunteering.

Organisations backing the Guarantee make five pledges to help young people at this critical time:

• prepare young people for the world of work through work experience, volunteering and work-based learning opportunities
• engage with and provide opportunities to young people who face barriers to work
• create work-based learning, training and upskilling opportunities for young people
• create jobs and opportunities for young people through apprenticeships, paid internships and work experience
• create an inclusive workplace to support learning and enable young people to meet their potential

Auchrannie Resort have said:
“Signing up to the Young Person’s Guarantee is a great way for us to commit to promoting hospitality as a career choice for young people. Hospitality has had a particularly turbulent year and we are keen to get back to highlighting all the amazing opportunities that are available, and not just in the traditional front of house roles that are synonymous with a career in the sector. We are brilliantly placed to promote this, with opportunities across our resort from leisure to marketing, property maintenance to administration, and everything else in between! By sharing our passion for hospitality, and of course, our own business, we hope to engage with as many young people as possible to inform and inspire the shining stars of the future and help our industry to bounce back stronger than ever.

The Young Person’s Guarantee aims to give all young people the chance to succeed despite the economic impacts of COVID-19, while also ensuring employers continue to benefit from the fresh talent and new perspectives that young people bring to workplaces across Scotland.”
