Work experience would help the economy as well as delivering benefits to young people: my piece on ⁦⁦@speakrs4schools⁩ campaign to reintroduce a universal right for school students to have high quality work placements ⁦⁦The Times and The Sunday Times⁩ thetimes.co.uk/article/c82637…

Incredible milestone for our #WorkexperienceforAll campaign! The result of Social Market Foundation policy research, commissioned from @speakrs4schools shows work experience for all is achievable and affordable esp. given the potential on growth and social mobility schoolsweek.co.uk/what-would-it-…

We were incredibly grateful that committee chair Robin Walker and @halfon4harlowMP raised the importance of work experience in yesterday’s session and cited recent @smfthinktank paper commissioned by us. Here’s our 4 key takeaways from #CEIAG #edcommittee Education Committee (1/5 🧵)

Two thirds of students leave school without any work experience, and there’s a campaign to fix that. @speakrs4schools want to help students complete two work placements by the time they finish school. @anwensjourno is on work experience with us and looked at their latest ad👇

Really pleased to share this news and I'm excited to get stuck in👇 Institute of Welsh Affairs's work is fundamental in supporting and contributing to a thriving and flourishing Cymru.

Going to a series of state schools, I never realised the importance of work experience until my 20s. I want you and your children to know more, so here's how to get started #workexperience #careers @speakrs4schools The Talent Tap BDO UK thesun.co.uk/money/22553719…

We are delighted to welcome delegates to our roundtable in partnership with the The OU in Wales, 'Democracy Now and in the Future'. Looking forward to a full day of discussions! #IWADemocracy

Estimated cost of meeting all eight benchmarks would range from £38,000 to £76,000 per school. Yet the spending is £5000 per schools according to Education Committee new report. This results in yp lack of career readiness & it already shows according to evidence schoolsweek.co.uk/fund-careers-a…

Thanks to BBC Breakfast for talking about the importance of #workexperienceforall today Only half of young people have these opportunities & much of that comes through parental networks Getting a foot on the career ladder should not be reliant on who you know or where you live

📣 Save the dates! 📣 We are excited to announce 'Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 a Work in Progress' is returning as a podcast *and* a free event series exploring Wales' democratic future. More events and episodes coming soon. For full details and free registration 👇 ow.ly/Y6NT50PqGIq

We must do the right thing for the pupils we are most worried about. Virtual work experience can bridge the gap here. #cpc23 Education Policy Institute

Kicking off Tues #LPC23 with @speakrs4schools session on #workexperience. Currently 50% don’t have any at all and where it does happen relies on parental networks. HUGE inequality issue. Welcome the mandatory placement but we shouldn’t rush in - we need to get good quality too!
