🌟 Careers Uncovered: Health and Care – Project Update 🌟 Our project has now delivered nearly 20 different meaningful experiences of health and care careers for young people in South London. These activities range from workplace visits to careers talks, and even a careers fair. 🎉 We now have enough feedback to share an update on how our project is creating impact for young people in South London. We’re delighted that young people have enjoyed learning directly from employers, which is reflected in the stats on their learning. 📊 ✅ 79% of young people rated their experience on our project as “Excellent”.  ✅ 95% rated their learning from professionals as “Good” or “Excellent”. Before the activity, 0 students rated their knowledge of Health and Care careers as “Excellent”. After the activity, we’re happy to report that 58% of students rated their knowledge as “Excellent”, with a further 37% rating their knowledge as “Good”. 100% of students reported that their knowledge of Health and Care careers had increased. 🌟 Our goal is not only to increase awareness of health and care careers but to create meaningful experiences of the world of work. We’re thrilled that the qualitative feedback we’ve received also shows progress is being made on this target. 📈 “I learned a lot about new career types, and different careers through the years.”  “I've always wanted to work in health and care, and this has pushed me more.”  “Health and Care careers are really detailed and sound interesting.” We’re very happy with the early successes of the project, and you can expect further updates soon. However, we are now focused on driving forward more activities before our project ends in March 2025. 🚀 To achieve this, we need the continued support of schools and local business leaders. If you’ve not already signed up to be a part of our project, please don’t delay!
