Training for Chinese suppliers on how to hire and manage young workers responsibly during peak season 面向中国供应商的培训：如何在生产旺季负责任地招聘与管理未成年工

Date: TBD

Price: 700 RMB/person

Across many supply chains, summer and peak production periods often bring increased labour demand, while many young people aged 16–17 look for opportunities to earn income, gain work experience and support their families. 

When managed responsibly, youth employment can help suppliers fill seasonal labour gaps while providing young people with safe and meaningful work opportunities. However, without proper systems, suppliers risk unintentionally exposing young workers to hazardous tasks, excessive working hours, or other conditions that violate labour standards and create compliance risks. 

Brands and regulators increasingly expect suppliers to demonstrate clear systems for responsible hiring and management of young workers as part of broader human rights due diligence. 

Drawing on more than 15 years of experience addressing child labour risks across global supply chains, this training provides practical guidance on how to hire and manage young workers responsibly while meeting buyer expectations and protecting young workers’ safety and development. 

Participants will gain practical guidance on how to employ young workers safely and responsibly in line with international standards and buyer expectations. 

Topics include: 

• Understanding the difference between child labour and permissible young worker employment 

• Legal requirements governing employment of workers under 18 

• Responsible recruitment practices to prevent underage hiring 

• Age verification and onboarding systems 

• Identifying hazardous work and prohibited tasks for young workers 

• Safe job allocation and supervision of young workers 

• Managing working hours, overtime and night work restrictions 

• Practical case studies based on real supply chain situations 

• Communicating effectively with brands and auditors regarding young worker employment 
  

This training uses a practical and interactive learning approach, combining real case studies, group discussion and practical exercises. 

Participants will: 

• Work through real scenarios suppliers face when hiring and managing young workers 

• Review practical examples of policies, procedures and factory systems 

• Learn from The Centre’s on-the-ground experience supporting companies and suppliers to address child labour risks in global supply chains 

The focus is on applied learning—turning international standards and buyer requirements into practical systems that work in day-to-day operations.

By the end of the session, participants will be able to: 

• Strengthen company systems for responsible hiring and management of young workers 

• Reduce risks related to underage recruitment and child labour 

• Ensure safe and appropriate working conditions for young workers 

• Align factory practices with buyer expectations and human rights due diligence requirements 

• Safely integrate young workers into the workforce during peak or seasonal labour demand

在许多供应链中，夏季和生产旺季通常会带来更高的用工需求，同时许多16–17周岁的青年也希望借此机会获得收入、积累工作经验并贴补家用。

如果管理得当，青年就业不仅可以帮助供应商缓解季节性用工缺口，也能为年轻人提供安全且有意义的工作机会。然而，如果缺乏完善的管理制度，供应商们可能会在无意中让未成年工从事有害工作、超长工时或出现其他违反劳动标准的情况，从而带来合规风险。

品牌方和监管机构也越来越期望供应商们能够建立清晰的制度，以负责任的方式招聘和管理未成年工，并将其视为更广泛的人权尽职调查的组成部分。

本培训基于我们在全球供应链中超过15年应对童工风险的经验，为供应商们提供切实可行的指导，帮助供应商们在满足品牌期望的同时，负责任地招聘和管理未成年工，保障未成年工的安全与发展。
