Pathways Connect is held to partner secondary schools with employers through workplace visits. Employers are able to raise the profile of their industry, showcase the skills they require and tap into the pipeline of future employees. This introduces students to the various opportunities available, helps them see the relevance of what they learn at school and create a career pathway.
Workplace visits bridge the gap between theoretical education and the real-life environment for young people. They enable students to better identify their prospective career pathways in an organisation and understand the educational requirements and internal progression to the role they desire.
86% of students said “these trips helped them decide on career pathways and the steps they needed to take”
78% of students said “these trips helped them decide on subject choices for the future”
