75% of organisations say that Diversity and Inclusion is a value or priority (PwC, 2021). But young people from low income backgrounds are three times less likely to be in a job or course after leaving school (Impetus, 2019).
They are also twice as likely to have communication difficulties. This presents a major barrier to working in an organisation, from speaking confidently in a job interview to communicating effectively with clients.
We Speak connects up new talent from under-represented backgrounds with exciting corporate organisations.
We'll train your staff in mentoring and communication skills before they take part in 4 x 1 hour sessions to help students build speaking confidence and employment opportunities. Students experience an average 44% increase in speaking confidence.
