- The charity released a study in summer 2026 stating that young people who immerse themselves in the world of work are 80% less likely to become NEET
- A program in Hammersmith and Fulham connected local pupils to a wide variety of workplace volunteers, inspiring the future of the students, offering more opportunities and working to eliminate career stereotypes
- In 2024, the #WhenIGrowUpCampaign took place, which challenges gender and ethnicity stereotypes in careers, and encourages primary school students to learn about a wide variety of job options
- Education of and involvement with primary school students, such as a Westminister-funded-5-year-program. This projects allows them to meet inspiring career role models such as those who work in the Civil Service, and other events such as whole school assemblies.
