Last week, we went to an event hosted by 16-18-year-olds doing everything they could to find a route into their chosen careers. There were sausage rolls provided, but more importantly, there were some insightful questions from the pupils and a whole lot of respect for them from us.
\nThe event, established and run by pupils at Hendon School in Barnet, North West London, was called \u2018Investing in our Futures\u2019. The premise is simple; pupils decide what careers they\u2019re interested in and look for companies in these industries. Representatives are invited to host a table, at which up to 10 pupils sit, chat, ask questions and get an insight into how they can make it.
\nHarriette<\/a> attended the inaugural event last year and Caroline<\/a> attended this year. Both were impressed. Caroline said:
\n\u201cI found out that youth unemployment is a massive problem in Barnet, the London Borough that\u2019s home to Hendon School. I also found out that the pupils are pioneering and much better behaved than you might expect when you get more than 200 16-18-year-olds in a room after school.\u201d
\nIn fact the number of 16-24-year-olds claiming Job Seeker\u2019s Allowance in Hendon is falling \u2013 from 535 in May 2010, to 425 in January 2013[i]<\/a>. The constituency\u2019s MP, Matthew Orford, attributes the drop, at least in part, to Central Government\u2019s apprenticeship scheme.
\n\u201cI\u2019m sure the Government\u2019s scheme is having an impact. But having been part of Hendon School\u2019s recent initiative, I really think the pioneering spirit of these sixth form students is playing a huge part.\u201d
\nMore than 20 companies attended<\/strong>
\nOther professionals were glad to be part of the event: a British Gas engineer, Tesco\u2019s design director, a Geography lecturer from Queen Mary University in London\u2019s Mile End, and an editor from Penguin Books, to name just a few.
\nPupils asked practical questions like what to include in a cover letter, what degree to do and more. We offered a week\u2019s work experience to a Hendon School pupil last year and are deciding how best to add value this time around. Watch this space for workshops, internships and working towards being part of National Apprenticeship Week 2015.
\nIn honour of the importance of this year\u2019s National Apprenticeship Week (3-7 March 2014), share this post and how you\u2019re helping Britain\u2019s youth using #CreativeApprentice<\/p>\n
