1. What is the Worldly Wise Ambassador Programme?
We are a UK based not for profit enterprise that aims to empower young people and create access to opportunities for career advice and support from local businesses. The programme engages young people to grow their confidence, develop their social skills and open up opportunities for them to access local business leaders and employees.
Our ambassadors are keen to participate in a way that helps schools deliver their careers curriculum for example by giving talks to students, participating in CV workshops and mock interviews, Q & A sessions, ‘Dragons Den’ style student presentations, life skill sessions and many more.
