For over a decade, we have supported young people from low-income backgrounds to navigate key transition points and access competitive universities, apprenticeships, and careers, by tackling systemic barriers through expert guidance, outreach, and training. At the heart of our mission is the Modern Work Experience programme - an innovative, scalable approach that reimagines traditional work placements to be more inclusive, meaningful, and skills-focused. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69ad27cebca5311686abb334/1772955673079-KNNB3B08JH24D55A4WN1/sam%2Bwoking%2Bwith%2Ba%2Bgroup%2Bon%2Boscar.jpg Our story - create lasting change Causeway Education is working to create lasting change by embedding Modern Work Experience within school systems and employer practices. We are building a future in which access to opportunity is not determined by background, but by potential, and where all young people are prepared to thrive in an evolving workforce. Too many young people – especially those from lower-income backgrounds – miss out work experience, while we know that those who access four or more quality employer encounters are 86% less likely to become NEET (not in education, employment, or training). By offering Modern Work Experience to whole cohorts, Causeway aims to ensure every young person - regardless of background - can benefit from high-quality encounters with employers that build confidence, develop essential skills, and expand career horizons. https://www.modernworkexperience.org/complaints daily 0.75 2026-03-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69ad27cebca5311686abb334/1772955688096-C2W4E4KDY3F79YX34H04/luke-southern-9yCYGgPe5Kg-unsplash.jpg Complaints https://www.modernworkexperience.org/fundraising-promise daily 0.75 2026-03-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69ad27cebca5311686abb334/1772955707512-QMYAAPFZ1PAU5O1J45NV/blur-ceramic-close-up-164497.jpg Our fundraising promise https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69ad27cebca5311686abb334/1772955707522-9IHZSYVRVNJ7B94V099A/FR_RegLogo_HR.png Our fundraising promise https://www.modernworkexperience.org/planning-reflection daily 0.75 2026-06-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69ad27cebca5311686abb334/a03c996c-b10c-42e4-80e7-68ed0665feab/7.png Planning and reflection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69ad27cebca5311686abb334/bfca6564-51cd-49a0-9501-391b8a861304/1.png Planning and reflection - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69ad27cebca5311686abb334/4e765292-d711-4862-a871-5d49b93c83a0/2.png Planning and reflection - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.modernworkexperience.org/benefits-for-employers daily 0.75 2026-07-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69ad27cebca5311686abb334/d5a2e1dd-b707-4468-8c9d-5f9646462c5c/MWEx+hero+images+%282%29.png Benefits for employers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69ad27cebca5311686abb334/887e4028-267d-47d4-9c18-b12741e6a1a8/5.png Benefits for employers - Talent Pipeline Development Work experience builds awareness of your sector and brand among future recruits, improving application quality and retention rates. Employers doing the most intensive work with young people on meaningful opportunities are 47 % points more likely to report their outreach is helping to close skills gaps (The Careers and Enterprise Company, 2024). Employers actively targeting activities to underrepresented groups are 31% more likely to say that this their education outreach is helping them to develop new talent pipelines, and nearly 40% of employers say working with schools and colleges has helped them to reduce their recruitment costs (The Careers and Enterprise Company, 2025). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69ad27cebca5311686abb334/6340971e-6f67-470c-8c74-e9e71049738a/MWEx+hero+images.png Benefits for employers - Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Demonstrates commitment to local communities and education, enhancing your reputation as a socially responsible employer (llep, 2020).
