For those of you who don’t already know I was recently asked to appear in a video for City & Guilds you can read about my day here.
The video explores the many different apprenticeships and career opportunities within the Royal Opera House from a parents’ perspective and is part of the #opendoors campaign that City & Guilds are running at the moment.
As part of this campaign City & Guilds have today released findings from some really interesting research from a nationwide survey conducted involving over 3500 parents. The study was focussed on the views of parents about young people and career decision making. One of the key statistics from this research and probably the most headline grabbing fact is that two-thirds (66%) of parents surveyed don’t feel the current education system prepares children for work.
Click the link below to view the full research report. There are some really interesting statistics.
I will be blogging more about the findings of the survey over the coming days and tell you about the radio day I’ve been involved in today, all very exciting!
I really hope you like the video, let me know what you think and I hope to see some of you at The Skills Show at the Birmingham NEC on 13-15th November.

![[AD - Paid Partnership] Happy International Women's Day! Here I am with the two little ladies in my life, this photo was taken moments before the mayhem and total chaos of 'The School Run.' We've all been there, right?! But, imagine dropping your girls off to school and them NOT having sanitary protection - wouldn't that be awful? The stark reality is that thousands of teenagers in the UK are missing school because they don't have sanitary wear. I had a chat with Holly about the Always #EndPeriodPoverty campaign and she told me that at her college there is a box where girls can put their spare sanitary towels and tampons so that anyone without access to sanitary protection can use them. @always_uk_ireland believes every student should have access to sanitary protection and so far they've donated over 14 million pads to school students in need. And now @tampax_uk has joined forces with Always to expand the donation drive, together partnering with @TheRedBoxProjectUK a community organisation that collects donated period products and distributes them to schools for free. Here's where YOU can help - for starters, let's talk about periods more and NORMALISE them 💜This is so so important. Secondly, be aware that for every pack of Always Ultra, Always Platinum, TAMPAX Pearl or Pearl Compak purchased in stores from today until 21st April, a product will be donated to a student in need. And finally, PLEASE LIKE and/or COMMENT 👈🏻😍 – as another donation will be made to The Red Box Project for every like and comment on this post too! Isn't that amazing?
