Department for Work and Pensions Minister Lord McKenzie comments: “This chat is a chance to encourage young people to see pensions as relevant to them as they enter the world of work, rather than something for later. Pensions can be the second most valuable perk offered by an employer after salary but are too often overlooked.”

Chatlive product manager, Andy Stevens adds: “We already have a good mix of both large and smaller companies taking part including Kent County Council and Study Overseas. It’s great to see the Minister joining them and supporting the thousands of job hunting students and graduates out there.”
