How can we help you?
Ofsted and the DfE now require schools to deliver impartial and independent careers education to all students in secondary and sixth form. Push is not designed to replace your current in-house activities, instead we enhance all the work you are doing by reinforcing your messages to students – and from an engaging, funny and independent speaker they really listen to. Check out the sessions we offer.
Universities and employers do brilliant outreach work, but they are not impartial or independent. Push outlines the benefits of all the options at 18 and gives them equal weight – what Ofsted and DfE require students to have. Push really is the most high-quality, unique and fun experience you can put in front of young people – to give them all the information and guidance they need, and inspire them at the same time – but don't listen to us, read our testimonials here.

Embedding employability into the curriculum
How do we embed employability into the curriculum with a common language that engages and excites young people?
Employability skills can be a droll subject to the uninitiated (or even the initiated who talk about it regularly), and it is more often than not confused with employment skills (the traits needed to apply for and successfully get a job).

Folks don't often associate the word 'joy' with employability, but that is precisely what Push is here to explain in our insightful (and funny) sessions on the topic. Push draws on research to back up Push's theory on how to develop a straight-talking language around employability for young people, which can be relayed across the curriculum in a way that not only helps them understand what employers want, but also gets them excited about developing it. We start with the individual and one's uniqueness...and then get students thinking deeply about what they want from life.
"Push provided an excellent comical and light hearted introduction to university & employability, as well as bringing across excellent and serious concepts."
