Real-world exposure to how decisions are made within organisations, so I can better understand how my skills apply in practice.

The opportunity to shadow a professional at their workplace to experience their day to day role and the traits needed to succeed in their line of work.

I wish there was more support for young people to get into every field of work through an increase in both opportunities and awareness of opportunities.

I wish employers trusted young workers enough to give them opportunities to try more complex roles at work so they can develop a wider range of skills.

I wish employers would help students by making the application process easier to navigate and provide support where necessary.

My wish is for employers to prioritise active outreach and engagement with young people on a large scale.

I wish employers would continue to provide young people with opportunities across different career paths.

I wish that there were courses that reliably taught how to use artificial intelligence to our advantage, and how it could make work processes more efficient.

My wish would be to ask an employer how they got the position they're at in their career and what advice they'd have for our generation.

I wish there was a structured mentorship as it enables my career path to be guided with feedback and help with advice on how to navigate office politics.

I wish employers would value potential as much as experience, and give young people clearer guidance on how to succeed. As we all have the potential, we just need to know how to unlock it!

I wish employers cared about employees' development as much as they care about results.

I wish that employers, especially in larger companies, would do more to help employees connect with like-minded people across different teams and locations.

I wish there was less stigma on hiring under 18s for experience and part-time work.

I wish that the education system taught students more about employment and developed their valuable skills like CV writing, building a personal brand, and interpersonal skills.

I wish employers wouldn't expect so much from young people. Countless companies will only consider someone with extended and specific experience within the field, which can cut off so many underprivileged and ambitious youth due to boundaries that they did not themselves place.

I wish schools and universities offered more core modules focused on employability, as this would give young people real incentives to develop practical skills they can actually use in the workplace.

I wish stigma around alternative pathways to university (apprenticeships, employment or gap year) would decrease through proper education of the pathways and their benefits. At the end of the day, everyone learns differently.

I wish that employers could provide direct feedback during your day-to-day work schedule.
