It’s no secret that the pandemic has caused devastation to millions of lives across the UK, and now we are returning to ‘normal’, it’s easy to put that year and a half behind us, and strive to move on. But for the younger generation, a year and a half can be life changing.

    Situation

    The pandemic caused disruption to learning for 11 million young people in the UK and socio-economic disadvantage is more apparent than ever. Youth unemployment has been anticipated to rise by 163%, yet less than half of secondary school, college and university students currently have access to careers support. The impact of the pandemic will continue to affect the world of work for years to come, and young people will need support to re-adjust. That help comes from showing them the variety of careers that exist, the skills employers need, and how to find the jobs that their skills are best suited for.

    Solution

    We know the significant impact positive role models can have on career success, with evidence showing that students who have four or more interactions with business role models are five times more likely to be in education, employment or training. At F4S we make it possible for all educators to empower young people through these encounters and bring careers education to life, raising their aspirations and giving them confidence in their future careers. Support F4S today, and your donation will be doubled, meaning your support will have twice the impact. With your help, we can raise social mobility, inclusivity and equal access to prosperous careers, levelling the playing field for the young people who need us most.
