Careers Workshop Facilitator

We’re the charity empowering 14-19-year-olds to know their options and find their career paths. Collaborating with businesses and volunteers, we offer opportunities helping to shape the future careers of young people. The impact we have on young people is totally dependent on our volunteers – volunteer as and when you are available (no minimum interaction required!).

We’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers across Wales, who are happy to share their experiences with young people. No prior experience required.

Desirable (though not essential):
• Previous experience with young people
• Public speaking/Delivering sessions
• We welcome volunteers from all industries and backgrounds e.g. hospitality, health and social care, construction, IT, legal profession, etc.

Give every young person a chance to flourish by providing information and inspiration about the possibilities of their careers. You can do this through:
• Industry Insight Sessions: Sharing your career experience and journey with young people in schools to inspire their career aspirations as well as shine a light on the world of work and employment opportunities. (approx. 1 hour)
• Employability Skills Workshops: Delivering key employability skills workshops, using preprepared resources as well as your own insight and experience to develop student’s transferable skills. (approx. 1 hour)
• Digital Content: Record a video or workplace tour to share with young people on our social media
• Volunteer independently or as part of a team with colleagues.
