Working Option
Supporting with filming and editing a series of short videos
We need production talent We've taken the careers conversation to where young people told us they wanted to hear from us – TikTok.
When our focus groups said "Please, not another webinar," we listened and shifted from lengthy video calls to short-form content. This approach earned us almost 10 million views last year from young people aged 13-24.
Our content aims to build skills, widen knowledge, and share opportunities. To maintain authenticity and trust, we need media professionals like you to help capture compelling career stories.
WE NEED YOUR PRODUCTION SKILLS
To create impactful videos, THAT ALSO drive engagement! We want to create a conversation, not just be on transmit ... and where we fall short is engagement, not just views. Your filming and editing expertise will help us create polished, engaging content that resonates with our young audience.

Every young person deserves the chance to achieve their potential. At Working Options, we support young people aged 14-19 in England and Wales by offering career-boosting opportunities and fostering essential skills such as confidence, resilience, and a growth mindset.
As the number of young people NEET reaches 1 million, the stats speak volumes:
66% of young people leave education without having done any work placement
Investment in this area is down from £159 per pupil (2009) to £68 today
Tailored career support has crashed from 85% (1997) to 33% (2024)
That young people say they feel a lack of skills, confidence and sense of direction are their biggest barriers to getting a job.
Our work has never been more needed...
Our dedicated volunteers deliver inspiring stories and workshops in schools and business settings, both in-person and digitally through digital content. In 2024 we reached over 70,000 young people in person and over 2.2 million online.
By connecting young people with industry professionals, we help them to know their options, find their careers, and navigate their pathways.
Our ambition is to reach all young people, promote social mobility and create a more diverse workforce.
