Nick Clegg launches school careers talk volunteer scheme
Nick Clegg has launched a scheme which
encourages workers to sign up as a volunteer to give career talks to pupils at
state schools. Research has suggested that pupils who were in contact with employers
at school will earn 16% more on average than pupils who did not have this
opportunity. Nick Clegg said it is important for pupils to hear a positive
message that they can do what they want instead of hearing that the best jobs
are not for them. Inspiring the Future will give pupils an idea of jobs which
they can do and might not even have thought about.
Opinion:
As a teacher this is an initiative which I
love. Pupils have difficulty choosing a profession but with this scheme they
can be inspired. We are busy with finding companies and workers to speak at our
school a scheme like this would be of great help. I think that companies should
obligate their workers to do at least one talk a year. It is a good promotion
for the company and it would stimulate young people to choose a career with
their company. A very good initiative of Nick Clegg.
