Young people study harder with employer support

70 per cent of Year 11 students in England would work harder if their studies were linked to future employment according to a survey from the Diploma Employer Champions Network (DECN).

The survey also revealed that 80 per cent of respondents believe that work-related study is a key factor in helping them land a job they like and 60 per cent agree that undertaking work experience has given them a better understanding of what future employers would expect of them.
