Real people, real jobs
Ask: What If? is a national careers drive to target skills shortages across the sustainable communities sector. We launched the website www.askwhatif.co.uk in June 2007.
Background
Our research showed that young people demand straight, factual information and respect the views of their peers and those working in the professions. So we've created a distinct, thought-provoking careers programme, supported by our team of enthusiastic, expert ambassadors, which communicates with young people on their own terms.
Ambassadors
We've recruited a team of ambassadors from various sustainable communities professions. Our ambassadors provide young people with honest, factual information about what their jobs are like. The ambassadors have submitted video diaries to the web site, they take part in the discussions and help people with career advice and other questions.
Ask: What If? on tour
To complement the website we are touring the Ask: What If? careers stand around the major careers events.
In 2007 we visited Forum3 in October and the London Graduate Recruitment Fair in June
The stand is staffed by our ambassadors who are available to give first-hand advice.
