The gap between what young people want, what they know and what they expect from work is widening.
Many Gen Z are entering the workforce with lower confidence in their professional skills and a growing gap between what they want, what they know, and what they expect from work. Only 23% feel ready for the workplace but Insight Days and Work Experience can bridge that gap. Young people are looking for real experiences, practical advice, networking opportunities and a sense of belonging. When organisations get this right, they not only prepare students for the future but also strengthen their own talent pipelines.
Providing Real Work Experience
Create hands-on opportunities that build confidence, skills, and CV-ready experiences - not just observation days.
Enabling Discovery & Self-Understanding
Give students the space to explore how they collaborate, approach challenges, and fit into the world of work.
Giving Actionable Career Advice
Share clear insights into career paths, hiring processes, and what employers are really looking for moving beyond generic tips or TikTok soundbites.
Building Two-Way Networks
Offer structured chances for students to connect with professionals, ask questions, and start developing meaningful relationships.
Cultivating Belonging
Show young people that they have a real future in your workplace by creating environments where they can see themselves thrive.
