A new organisation has been set up to give young people a chance to find out about the world of work – from the people who are already in it.
Growing Ambitions invites people from all walks of life, all age groups and doing a variety of jobs to visit schools, colleges and universities to tell students what their jobs are really like.
The not-for-profit organisation, an online initiative that puts careers advisers in touch with volunteer workplace speakers, was conceived by businesswoman Sally Davis after her son explained his frustrations with the current system of careers advice.
Davis, managing director of Growing Ambitions, said: "I set up Growing Ambitions because my son didn't have the career advice I thought he needed. He told me that he wanted to be able to talk to someone in the job about what they did. He wanted some real information before he made a career choice. And he was right."
