In 2024, UpRising partnered with Youth Futures Foundation (YFF) to produce two research reports examining key challenges in youth engagement and employment. Drawing on our experience of delivering programmes to diverse young people, these reports explore the realities of environmental careers and hybrid programme delivery, offering practical insights for organisations working to create more inclusive opportunities for young people.
Below you'll find both reports, which combine fresh data with practical recommendations for anyone interested in making youth opportunities more accessible and impactful.
Our Green Jobs Report reveals what's really happening in environmental careers today. Through surveys with over 1,200 people and in-depth analysis, we unpack the reality of entering the green job market - from real barriers faced by young people to practical solutions for making the sector more accessible. Whether you're working in environmental organisations or interested in making green careers more inclusive, this research provides fresh insights and actionable recommendations.
Our Hybrid Programme Delivery Report captures key learnings from adapting youth work for a digital age. Using our Environmental Leadership Programme 2 as a case study, we break down what actually works in hybrid delivery - from engaging young people online to creating meaningful blended experiences. With real examples and practical guidance, this report is essential reading for anyone interested in delivering impactful youth programmes that combine digital and in-person elements.
