Working Knowledge - Expert Impact

Dr James Lott,

Working Knowledge

Met with Jenny Halpern Prince

We are a social enterprise that creates chances for young people to open doors into employment.

We are passionate about providing opportunities for young people in Further Education to excel and be spotted by employers as the fresh talent of the future.

By engaging employers in the full time curriculum we help our partner colleges to shape learner destinations and prepare the next generation of young people for the world of work.

We offer our partner colleges a range of cost effective curriculum-led services that are aligned to Study Programmes and deliver meaningful work experience opportunities.

Listen to James explain what Working Knowledge do and why in this short profile video.

Jenny was both insightful and perceptive about my business and offered me real value in her advice. Expert Impact provided me with a truly valuable experience today.
