OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

The seminar will explore the transformative potential of ‘work’ (ranging from paid employment to internships to volunteering) for marginalised young people. Using evidence from the Care to Work Pathways Study and wider literature, the presentation will identify different ways in which early and later positive work experience can benefit the social and/or educational progress of young people in care. It will re-imagine some of our ideas about the sequencing, segregation and linking of ‘education’ and ‘work’. It will also consider how foster carers and other adults can help young people in care engage successfully with the world of work.
