First Job / #No Experience Needed

Around 5.9% students (16-24yrs ) drop out of education either not completing their High School Diploma or a GED. All these students need to find meaning full work and redefine their future in the work place. Thankfully their are businesses prepared to take on students without any qualifications or experience. For those failing and feeling hopeless about the future, this graphic can provide some inspiration either to stay on or to have hope that a job that can give them value and worth may be on the horizon. The common reasons for dropping out include these below If this poster inspires just one student to either stay on course with studies or leave and get a job to put their life on track again, then we will have fulfilled our purpose as career educators.

• Caring responsibilities
• School not relevant
• Boredom
• Needing to make money to support their families
• Getting held back
• Using drugs
• Becoming pregnant
• Joining gangs

This graphic takes a snapshot of careers based on #no experience needed. Some of the jobs do ask for GED or high school diploma but many don't. We did want to highlight the skills needed for the roles and show a breadth of career possibilities in this poster.
