Let more young people get jobs

Let more young people get jobs — 11 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

I want there to be more jobs and opportunities for young people (16-24) and I think they should take some what of a priority when looking at applications.

Additional details

It’s extremely hard for 16-24 year olds to find work. They want “experienced people” yet no one will give us the experience we need to succeed. They don’t want to train us to work. Jobs pick people who they don’t need to spend time training on. It’s not fair that us young people have to suffer financially just because older people with more experience take top priority. We need to be given a chance and to be taken on by jobs.
