The project offered weekly sessions featuring goal setting, skills auditing as well as practical support, such as interview techniques.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/education\/marvellous-mums\/\"><strong>the initiative&#8217;s webpage<\/strong><\/a>, the idea behind this initiative is drawn from Professor Fuller&#8217;s research which focuses\u00a0on &#8220;the role of confidence and attitudes as an internalised feature of self-identity and consequently aspirations and ambitions. Her research also explores the mechanisms by which these can be re-framed. Promoting confidence and self-efficacy via a bottom up rather than top down approach i.e. to promote change from within the individual as opposed to simply telling that individual what they need to change is key. Parents support the development of the confidence and aspirations of their children, it is therefore important that developing these areas within parents are also included in initiatives that seek to develop in young people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-984 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2018\/carol_logo_2LLs.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"593\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2018\/carol_logo_2LLs.png 593w, https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2018\/carol_logo_2LLs-300x159.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 593px) 100vw, 593px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One participant of the group is quoted saying:<\/p>\n<h2><strong><em><span style=\"color: #808080\">\u201cThis group has helped me a lot more than I was expecting if I\u2019m honest.
