Levelling the playing field for WP students and graduates With thousands of new graduates entering the job market every year, it's fair to say that getting the first step on the ladder can be a challenge for even the most ambitious of students and a university degree doesn’t necessarily open all of the doors. Increasingly, employers want to see strong evidence that their new recruits are not only bright and hard-working but that they have a tool box full of other outstanding skills, attributes and experiences to offer. For many students from a widening participation background, just getting to university is a huge achievement, not just in terms of school and exam performance, but because of the multiple barriers they have had to overcome to make this step towards a brighter future. Many young people from widening participation backgrounds haven't had the start in life to fill their lives with meaningful work experience, travel and volunteering that employers seem to be searching for and this is where the opportunity to take part in a life-changing volunteering project has proved to be just the ticket for a group of WP students over the past five years.
