ORT JUMP Employability Skills Programme – UK

The Wohl Legacy supports the ORT UK Jump Programmes, providing essential guidance to our young people, helping them with their future employment and ultimately social mobility.

For school-leavers and graduates, trying to enter the world of work is a different experience than it was for previous generations.

According to a recent report from Ernst & Young, 60% of jobs require skills that only 20% of the population have. Furthermore, a World Economic Forum report states that 65% of children entering primary school now will work in new types of jobs that currently don’t exist.

Digital technology is advancing at such a pace that much of the guidance available within schools is quickly becoming obsolete. In an evolving world, underpinned by rapid change in the jobs market, the need to develop employability skills is greater than ever.

With this in mind, ORT UK launched the ORT JUMP Employability Skills programme in May 2023, with the backing of the Wohl Legacy. This builds on the success and impact of ORT UK’s flagship programme, ORT JUMP, launched in 2009. Growing each year, the programme pairs hundreds of year 12 students in seven Jewish and several local secondary schools, with mentors in a field of work which interests them.

The latest initiative offers an additional set of programmes centred around the employability skills that are required in today’s workplace.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
