Sometimes the idea of a job and actually doing the job can be two very different things. There is nothing more disappointing than a job not living up to your expectations… if only there was a way of trying a job before you commit so much time and effort in applying for vacancies, attending tough assessments and taking on a full time role? Try before you buy so to speak!

Well now you can! At YouthPro we work with experts in providing work experience activities to give you the opportunity to experience being a Youth Professional for real. We think it’s important that everyone understands the jobs which they apply for. The benefits are endless and can help you to realise that working with young people really is as rewarding as you thought it might be!

Some of the many benefits of job shadwoing include:

• The opportunity to see what the job enatils, both the good bits and the bad.
• A chance to meet professionals already doing to job and find out how they have been successful in getting where they are in their career.
• Demonstrates your commitment to moving into that area of work on your CV – a big tick for future employers!
• Helps you to identify possible skills gaps which you can work on in order to ensure you are in the best possible potential to apply for any jobs in the future.

From just £40+VAT we can source a placement for you in your chosen area of work through our large network of local employers. Whether it is a few evenings job shadowing in a local community group or working alongside a Careers Adviser in a college, we would be happy to talk to you to see how we can help.

If your interested in our job shadowing service then contact us on 01606 45364 or email info@youthpro.org.uk and we’ll be more than happy to discuss these with you.
