79 Year 7 pupils at Sir Herbert Leon Academy took part in four one-hour Employability Now sessions led by Worktree.

In post-session evaluation, the students gave an average score of 7.8 out of 10 for the statement ‘The session has made me committed to learning and want to achieve’.  They gave 7 out of 10 for ‘The session made me confident making choices about my future work options’.

Interestingly, their responses to the question about ‘3 jobs I would like to do’ suggests that more than a third aspire to types of work which are extremely hard to obtain (see top ten below).
