And the award goes to … Working Options

It’s time to unfold our celebration speech and proudly shout out about our latest achievement. We’ve won the coveted title of “Most Nurturing Youth Employability Skills Development Enterprise 2023” in England & Wales!

Presented by Acquisition International, as part of their third annual Non-profit Organization Awards, here’s what they said about us …

“Unrivalled expertise, unparalleled commitment to client services and satisfaction, and their undying passion for excellence and quality”.

Empowering

Our mission is to unleash the hidden potential of young people across the UK. With our impactful programmes and workshops (Impact Level Three accredited by Skills Builder), incredible volunteers, and generous supporters, we are dedicated to transforming the lives and career prospects of young individuals across the UK.

Our focus is on equipping them with essential employability skills and preparing them for the highly competitive job market. We work hard to bridge the gap between education and employment, ensuring that every young person has their chance to flourish in the world of work.

Connection

In a rapidly evolving world of job opportunities, we empower students with skills that truly cut through the noise. We understand what employers are seeking, and by connecting young people and business through our national network of partner companies and industry volunteers, we deliver programmes online and face-to-face within school and industry settings, transforming the lives of young people and the opportunities for business.

Skills

At the core of our work lies the nurturing of a wide range of skills crucial for success in the professional world. Through our innovative programmes, practical workshops, and interactive sessions, we strive to enhance young people’s communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and leadership abilities. Students gain valuable insights into different industries and career pathways, directly from those who are making it in their industries right now.

Thanks

We think, and this might not sound very humble, that this award from Acquisition International serves as a testament to our dedication to empowering youth and creating millions of lightbulb moments that shape the future of work. We hope that our work serves as an example of the positive change that can be achieved when education and business come together to grow and nurture the next generation of leaders.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Acquisition International for recognizing our commitment and efforts and this award motivates us even more to continue our mission and reinforces the importance of collaboration in driving positive change.

But most importantly we say a huge thank you to all the dedicated teachers who bring us into their schools, the young people who engage with us, the volunteers who inspire with their career stories, and our fantastic supporters who share our vision for social mobility.
