The ORT JUMP Three Day Employability Skills Challenge took place in May 2024 and we were blown away by the final presentations from all three teams!

Year 10 students from JCoSS and Yavneh College were set a challenge by the marketing team at OGGS, to create a campaign to attract younger customers and increase sales of a kosher version of their vegan, cruelty-free cakes.

Guided by experts, the teams learned a whole range of skills including how to conduct market research, implement SWOT analysis and perfect their pitching technique.

By assessing product placement at supermarkets, interviewing potential consumers and researching competing brands, students worked together to create informative and engaging PowerPoint presentations, explaining their innovative marketing strategies.

From meal-deal collaborations, to celebrity endorsements to animated adverts, the creative ideas were flowing and our judging panel were so impressed by the professionalism and quality of the campaigns. (Even the experts were taking notes!)

Thank you to JCoSS, Yavneh and OGGs for an incredible week, helping ORT UK to bridge the gap between school and the workplace.
