The ORT JUMP Alternative Work Experience Week helps Year 12 students develop key employability skills that aren’t taught in the classroom.

Last week, our 32 ORT JUMP participants from 10 different schools, worked in teams on a variety of workplace projects set by professionals. Each task was linked to a specific industry and covered an array of transferable skills such as collaborative working, creative thinking and market research.

Students also benefitted from expert-led interactive discussions on presentation skills, financial planning and using AI effectively, plus had the opportunity to network with professionals.

Our facilitators and placement providers were so impressed with the teams’ final presentations, which demonstrated how much each student had learned and developed throughout the week.

Thank you so much to Collins Property Recruitment, The Harkalm Group, The Firethorn Trust, Visit Health, Andrew B Morris, Mark Abrahams, Lucy Brown, Daniel Caplan, Malcolm Green and Rebecca Lennard and Annette Kurer.

Wishing our amazing ORT JUMP students every success for the future!
