IOSH and the Commonwealth are celebrating the Year of the Youth through a webinar series.
Focusing on young people, mental health and employability, the series is designed to build on the success of our employability webinars.
Attendees will hear from industry experts, who will raise awareness of the importance of looking after your mental health in the early stages of your career.
They will bring to life their personal experiences, to inspire young people across the Commonwealth to adopt and implement positive techniques to improve their mental health.
We hope to reach and engage with a wide audience of young people across Commonwealth countries, including those in the occupational safety and health (OSH) sector and other professions.
The webinars are also open to anyone, irrespective of age, who will find them beneficial.
