We are looking for dynamic and engaging volunteers from a variety of industries to support our work-related learning programmes with children and young people.

Our WoW (World of Work) programme includes a week of activities aimed at 5-11 year olds, including workplace visits for classes of children, and the opportunity to give feedback on projects related to different job areas. For example, children have worked in teams to create an app design or a new rollercoaster.

We have a range of projects with Secondary schools that involve presenting your career and education pathway, and teaching students about employability skills and raising their confidence.

We are also always on the lookout for businesses to host workplace visits, sponsor our programmes, or set up mentoring programmes for young people.

Finally, please get in touch if your workplace might be able to offer work experience for young people.
