My guest Mark Sexton of Essex Work Skills is passionate about young people. He runs a company that works in partnership with schools, colleges and employers to help young people prepare for the world of work.

This episode is more of a discussion than flat-out teaching session which most of my episodes are. Mark and I discuss the opportunities of youth and employment.

If you're considering your first (second, third, fourth, etc.) hire, you might do well to choose someone you can mould rather than go for maturity and experience. Listen and find out why!
