The new Jobs Report is live! In the report you’ll see how Braven Fellows are landing strong jobs and graduate school admittance out of college at a rate higher than their peers. In 2023, 777 Fellows earned a bachelor’s degree. This new class is outpacing their peers nationally in strong job attainment by 17 percentage points (60% vs 43%) within six months of graduation. This, of course, happens thanks to the experiences, support, and opportunities our higher education and employer partners provide through deep partnership and continued collaboration. We truly go further, when we go together! #BeBraven #LiveYourLegacy #Braven10 https://lnkd.in/edd7u7vG (you can see data from each of Braven's 5 regional offices)

Insightful report from Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce with one clear message: Post-high school credentials are more important than ever. In 2021, 68% of U.S. jobs required at least some postsecondary education. The number is projected to jump to 72% by 2031; with 42% of all jobs requiring at least a bachelor’s degree. That’s why we remain committed to increasing the rate of credential attainment for Washington students – breaking down barriers and designing pathways so more students complete the degrees, apprenticeships, industry licenses or certificates they need to launch careers, reach their aspirations, and achieve economic mobility.

More women are graduating from University than men, yet only 19.8% of executive committee members in the FTSE350 are women. Girl Guides discovered that the issue was all about perception: 64% of young women aged 17-21 believed that all being equal, employers preferred to hire a man over a woman. Girl Guiding and The Founder of the Collaboratory created She Can Be, leading to 150 young women making statements such as 'I can be an FTSE100 Chief Executive.' and 'I can be Prime Minister.'. ‘She Can Be’ is a two-part career day designed to change inward beliefs and outward perceptions of women working in London. As a result, 150 young women experienced life in London, changed their beliefs, and were offered apprenticeships by businesses that would not have thought to engage young women before.

#BeyondDegrees is a new paper from  Jobs for the Future (JFF) and American Student Assistance on a body of research that lays out the current #careerreadiness landscape, perceptions on #nondegreepathways, and the work we must do as caring adults to ensure the next generation can make informed decisions. https://lnkd.in/gVSzi-wT

The research clearly shows the power of employers engaging with the next generation. Thank you Anthony for all your research to help build the case for early engagement. #careers #career development #building thecaseforearlyengagement #talentpipeline

Throughly enjoyed talking to future lawyers, politicians, scientists, policy-makers, teachers, medics, engineers, musicians, accountants and much more (including, I hope, some future civic society leaders). I hope to have more opportunities to meet and talk to more of our future decision makers about the importance of democracy and a justice system that is accessible to all and to which are all are accountable.

Important new study exploring long-term impacts of career guidance from JULIE MOOTE and Louise Archer - here's the abstract: https://lnkd.in/dPtEKW_G Does school-based careers education, advice, information and guidance (CEAIG) have any influence on later life outcomes? This paper reports regression analyses using 7,635 survey responses from young people in England aged 21–22. Significant positive relationships were found between self-reported CEAIG activities experienced at age 14–16 and a range of adult outcomes reported at age 21–22. Both the quantity and quality of these CEAIG activities were important predictors: the more CEAIG activities experienced at age 14–16 and the more helpful these activities were perceived as being, the more likely the young people were to report life satisfaction, positive future outlooks and feel better prepared for the future. These relationships are held after controlling for gender, ethnicity, social deprivation and school type. Young people who reported experiencing more and better quality CEAIG activities at school were also more likely to be in education, training or work at age 21–22. Findings are discussed in the light of recent legislation relating to careers support in England, highlighting the importance of ensuring that the needs of these young people transitioning into the workforce and adulthood are met.
