What makes a dream job? Q-Step Leeds runs workshop on job satisfaction at Wilberforce College

Date

What makes a dream job, and what makes people satisfied at work? These were the questions explored by a group of year 12 students at Wilberforce 6th Form College, Hull, in a recent session run at the College by the Q-Step team.

Dr Danat Valizade, Q-Step Lecturer, and Professor Chris Forde, Co-ordinator of Q-Step at Leeds ran the session, looking first at the question of what matters to people at work.

Students designed posters setting out the most important factors to them in a job. This was followed by an interactive workshop in which students looked at the Workplace Employment Relations Survey data on job satisfaction.

Students gained first-hand experience of using SPSS, and of creating graphs and charts to look at evidence on job satisfaction.
