IMJack CAFE is up and running.

CAFE gives young individuals the opportunity to look around in a safe and secure network, developing their knowledge about different careers and prospects in an interactive bright and welcoming environment.

CAFE is made up of hundreds of different mentor profiles, consisting of at least the answers to 8 questions about a mentor’s job, such as “What does your job involve?” and “What is the best thing about your job?”.  Most mentors have taken the time to include information about their normal “Day in the life” and many are also prepared to answer student questions, sent securely through the CAFE, ensuring the students’ safety.  All this has been achieved through the willingness of mentors to share about their jobs and we are very grateful to everyone who has contributed.

I recently logged into this new IMJack application and found it very inviting to look around and explore different careers.  As a young teenager in school I remember being asked to think about what career I would peruse once I left school and completed all my exams.  There was always a lot of pressure to succeed and do well academically, but I had no idea what career or job I would go into or what was even out there.

Children generally only know about the obvious careers such as doctors, nurses, teacher, lawyers, etc.  However with this new launch of the IMJack CAFE it is so much easier to search for a much greater range of options.  There is even a list of company names which can be searched if you have an idea of what kind of company you might want to work for.

I would have loved the opportunity in school to be able to access such different and useful information, inspiring me in an easy, appealing way, with the security of being in a moderated and regulated site.

We are very proud of CAFE and would like to share it with you.  CAFE is now available in beta form on IMJack; please contact us if you would like access to the CAFE in your community.
