Outline:
The project set out to develop a programme of practical IAG workshops for use in partner institutions or at UEL offering students on vocational programmes the chance to take part in pre-application activities. This would enhance their understanding of the experience of HE level study and the employment prospects which might flow from progression into HE.

The workshops were led by professionals from the Creative and Cultural Industries, who offered placements to students during their time as UEL undergraduates. Teaching staff were informed of potential progression routes and were able to use this information in newsletters and promotional materials for further IAG use and parental guidance.
