It's never too soon for your students to start thinking about their future. What pathways could they take? What are their ambitions? What support is available?
Designed for key stages 3 and 4, our off-campus programme features everything your students need to explore their future steps and reach their goals. Working with groups that are under-represented higher education, our goal is to help your students discover opportunities and identify their passion – so they can shape the life and career they dream of.
Each theme offers tailored talks for your assembly slots, and workshops designed to seamlessly integrate into your lesson timings – all aimed at helping you achieve Gatsby Benchmarks 2, 3, 4, and 7, while supporting students with their future pathways and next steps.
You can book talks, workshops or both.* They are designed to complement each other, with the talks forming introductions to a theme and the workshops giving students the chance to explore a topic in more depth.
