For young people, the opportunity to work in pubs provides many benefits. It is an introduction into the world of employment, from giving them the chance to learn life skills for the future to potentially being the start of a long career in hospitality.

The well-earned wage can also give a sense of independence and help them understand budgeting. Likewise, by employing young people, Business Owners benefit from having extra support at potentially peak times, as well as having the prospect of nurturing the talent of a future full-time employee and valued member of the team.

Unfortunately, for some business owners, the fear of falling foul of the law means they shy away from employing young people, leading them to miss out on a valuable area of recruitment.
