WOW!

WOW is an interactive CD Rom about achieving in the World of Work. It is aimed at young people in care and those working with them. It has been produced by The Who Cares? Trust and the What Makes The Difference? project (WMTD).

WOW follows on from the success of The Who Cares? Trust Employability pack produced in 2002. The CD Rom is packed full of activities and information relating to exploring skills and qualities, career choices and work experience.

It provides young people with advice on decoding job ads, writing covering letters and CVs, and preparing for interviews. The CD also features inspirational film clips from young people and employers and links to useful, downloadable documents, project examples and relevant websites.

Young people have been at the heart of the development of the CD and have been actively involved in every stage from the design, content and testing to actually filming for the CD Rom. Here’s what they’ve said about it:

 “I always like playing games and this is cool”

“This is great! There are so many templates to choose from”

“I think it’s great, I don’t need to read anything, yet I can get so much advice” (referring to film clips)
