I have a voice
IHAV’s vision is a future where those in public policy-related roles are representative of the UK’s population. To achieve this we:
– raise awareness of the roles available such as working for the civil service, civil society organisations or in businesses as part of their public affairs teams;
– provide political education and share professional experience with people currently under-represented in policy-related roles; and
– run a mentoring and internship scheme to help people build-up their experience.
IHAV’s approach is comprehensive, taking people on the journey from not realising the opportunities available to them (there are hundreds of thousands of jobs in policy-related roles) to up-skilling and opening doors for them. By working with a whole range of stakeholders from schools to employers we act as a conduit between young people and employers who want to diversify their workforce by investing in their talent pipeline.
These sectors are growing, even through the Pandemic, offering young people stable, decent salaries and an opportunity to ensure their voices and the voices of their communities are heard by policymakers.

Employers play a key role in #socialmobility outcomes for many.
They determine where they set up their business, the types of job roles they create, and how and who they recruit; the income set by employers impacts living standards, pension contributions, as well as spending power in their local economy; they also play an important role in the health and wellbeing of employees.
However, with each part of the UK having an individual identity, history and economy, impacting its local population and their opportunities, the challenges to social mobility, and the solutions, may differ from region to region.
That’s where we think the use of our new #Data Explorer tool can help – join us at this event on 7 June at 12pm for employers to find out how you can utilise our new tool to understand your workforce distribution; provide insight for outreach activity and hiring activity; and to serve and support regional communities.
