64% of young people feel they can overcome the challenges they face but need practical support to build their confidence and skills.*

Taste for Work builds an appetite for work through a series of fun and immersive scenario-based challenges that bring the workplace to the classroom. It helps build the confidence of young people and provides their first taste of the working world.

With over 45 years of hiring young people in the UK and 70% of employees aged 18-24, McDonald’s knows how to support young people to get ready for work.

The first part of the Taste for Work programme is now ready to download here. It teaches the communication skills students need in the workplace, has impact level four accreditation by Skills Builder, meets Gatsby Benchmarks and is approved by Nasen for all abilities.
