The 2024 Workforce Survey, run by the National Youth Agency (NYA), wants to hear in detail about roles being undertaken, the qualifications workers have and how they are working alongside other professionals.   

Alex Stutz, head of knowledge at the NYA, said: “Providing a clear understanding of the needs of the youth work workforce is imperative in light of the government’s recent commitment to co-produce a National Youth Strategy with young people, helping to highlight where there are gaps in resources and training in order to meet the prospect of increased demand for youth workers on the horizon. 

“By just spending 10 minutes completing the workforce survey you can help us inform the government, policymakers and funders of the investment, infrastructure and support needed to create a youth sector which is fit for purpose.”
