A research team from the Education and Employers charity found that the career talks appeared to drive small but consistent improvements in the attitudes of students in the intervention group. There was also what the team describes as “a positive and statistically significant” relationship between revision hours and the career talks. Students who attended the talks reported an average increase of around 1.5 hours, compared to their peers in the control group. Each talk, in other words, resulted in a 30-minute increase in revision time.
