Thales helps to support and guide young people with careers and study advice through our askTheSite service.

In December 2006, the Thales Charity Committee committed £50,000 of funding over two years to support young people aged 16-24 with careers and study advice through askTheSite. This addition to the existing service means that young people in the UK can now ask an anonymous and confidential question about careers or study related issues for the first time. They will get a personal answer back from bss, an expert advice organisation and one of askTheSite's existing partners, within three working days.

"As a company, the themes of youth, technology and education are key for us and YouthNet is an excellent fit with this. We are delighted to be supporting their work to build on a service that will give young people careers advice to help them with their futures."

The provision of careers and study advice is a huge boost to our askTheSite service, which already supports young people on a range of issues, from relationships to housing. It means that YouthNet is now able to offer a holistic approach to thousands of young people who turn to TheSite.org's online question and answer service every month.

bss provides young people with timely, expert and accurate answers to questions about careers and study, including all aspects of learning, career development, jobs and volunteering. Thales's support will enable young people to make more informed and inspired choices, ensuring they have all the information they need at their fingertips.

Sir Michael Graydon, Chairman of Thales UK Charitable Trust, says: "Thales UK employs over 9,000 employees based in more than 50 locations throughout all regions, with a high proportion of staff being involved in science, technology and engineering.

"As a company, therefore, the themes of youth, technology and education are key for us and YouthNet is an excellent fit with this. We are delighted to be supporting their work to build on a service that will give young people careers advice to help them with their futures."
