By coming on board Compass Group is furthering its commitment to creating inclusive opportunities for young people who are currently not in education, employment, or training (NEET). Compass will help unlock potential and provide the vital stepping stones needed to get young people into meaningful careers.

Sareena Bains, chief executive of Movement to Work, said: “We’re proud to partner with Compass – a forward-thinking employer that truly champions young people’s potential. Their commitment to YouthPath reflects a shared vision of a more inclusive and accessible future of work.

“On my visit to their Xcelerate facility, I was inspired by the energy, purpose, and real impact they’re creating – empowering young people with the skills and confidence to thrive in hospitality.”

This partnership will help build confidence, develop vital skills, and unlock potential — empowering young people to take their first steps into the world of work.

Jonathan Foot, director of skills and early careers at Compass Group UK & Ireland, added: “We are committed to providing opportunities for all. By joining YouthPath, we’re widening our reach, to those who need support the most and helping them unlock a brighter future through skills, confidence, and opportunity.”
