Who we are:
Working Rite CIC is an Edinburgh based social enterprise specialising in work-based mentoring projects.
What we do:
We set up projects matching up youngsters with local employers to give them real work experience and a rite of passage into the world of work and adulthood.
Projects using the Working Rite method are continually generating 75% plus success rates in progressing youngsters into full time employment and apprenticeships.
"We will support the development of work-based mentoring for young Scots, along the lines of the Working Rite model" SNP Election Manifesto 2007
Discussions are now taking place with Ministers in the Scottish Government and their civil servants on how to take this commitment forward.
" As the Government is serious about doubling apprenticeships we are going to need a hell of a lot of appropriate placements. Not just any placement, but the kind of appropriate way forward that you are working
on." David Blunkett,
Labour MP for Sheffield Brightside
