Young people’s experiences of the world of work
Overview
We are keen to work with organisations who are interested in this important research area. The slideshow below highlights our shared areas of interest. We are at the early stages of investigation into the reality of young people achieving at least 100 hours of experiences and exposure to work by the age of 16. Recent findings from 'London Ambitions: Shaping a Careers Offer for All Young Londoners' (Hughes, 2015) suggests there are many differing approaches to achieve this goal.
