This free film training is specifically for unemployed people aged 16 to 25 years old who want to have their say about their situation and put the case for more jobs and less spin. For example young people are told they are 'guaranteed' a job or training if they are unemployed for over 6 months but one young WORLDbytes volunteer is already producing a report which reveals the jobs and training on offer are a far cry from young people's aspirations. Want to help find out more? Do you have a story to tell? Do you think we should demand more jobs?
