Believe it or not, Worktree has existed as a company since 1992 (registered no 2698919 as ‘Countec Ltd’), so this year celebrates its 25th birthday. In 2001 we became a charity (registered no 1089125). Over more than 20 years we placed 50,000 MK teenagers in work experience placements, organised more than 1,000 business visits to schools and ran our own ‘school without walls’ for excluded 14-16 year olds (first Citischool 2001-9, then iPEC 2009-12). Four years ago we turned over a new leaf to become Worktree. And we continue happily to grow, now with nearly 1,000 active volunteers taking part annually in Career WorkOut. Please have a go yourself – it’s fast, easy, helpful and fun! – www.worktree2.prominenthosting.com/events.
