The Youth Voice Census is now open, giving young people across the UK the chance to share their views, experiences and hopes for the future.

Run by Youth Employment UK, the annual survey helps build a clearer picture of what young people are thinking and feeling about education, employment, skills, support, wellbeing and their future opportunities.

The 2026 survey is open to young people aged 11 to 30 living in the UK. It is anonymous, can be completed in more than one sitting, takes between 10-45 minutes to complete, and closes on the 8th June!

At Babington, we believe young people’s voices should be heard, valued and used to shape the support, opportunities and pathways available to them. The more young people take part, the stronger the insight becomes for educators, employers, policymakers and organisations working to create better futures.

So, whether you’re in school, college, work, training, looking for your next opportunity or still figuring out what comes next, this is your chance to have your say.

According to the World Economic Forum Future of Jobs Survey, 80% of companies are likely or highly likely to adopt big-data analytics technology over the next five years, with 58% expecting it to be a job creator. 🚀

As demand for big data capability grows, organisations that act now will be in a far stronger position to:

🔸 Build internal capability early
🔸 Reduce future recruitment pressures
🔸 Lower the cost of hiring specialist talent
🔸 Strengthen long-term competitiveness
🔸 Create a workforce that is more confident using data to support decisions

Rather than waiting for skills gaps to widen, employers can start preparing now.

Data is already part of every organisation. For decision-makers and business leaders, building a workforce that can interpret, question and apply data effectively is no longer a nice to have, it is essential.

Our Data at Every Desk playbook positions data as a tool for decision-making at every level, not just for analysts or senior specialists, and focuses on helping organisations create a culture where insight is understood and applied consistently.

Our new playbook explores how organisations can:

✅ Build confidence in using data across teams
✅ Improve the quality and speed of decision-making
✅ Reduce reliance on a small number of specialists
✅ Create a stronger, more data-driven culture
✅ Unlock more value from the data already within the business

If you are looking to strengthen capability, improve performance and lead with greater confidence, this playbook is designed for you. 🚀

Data is shaping decisions in every part of the modern workplace, but studies suggest that only 21% to 26% of employees feel fully confident or capable when working with data.

That matters because when confidence is low, the risks for businesses grow 👇

🔸 Misinterpreted information
🔸 Reduced trust in reporting
🔸 Slower decision-making
🔸 Missed opportunities for improvement
🔸 Greater reliance on instinct over insight

For organisations to truly benefit from the data they already hold, employees at every level need the skills to understand, interpret and apply it effectively. 🚀

When teams are confident with data, businesses are better equipped to make informed decisions, improve performance, and build a stronger culture of accountability and action.

Building data confidence isn’t just a learning priority, it’s a business advantage. 💡
