Full Support Healthcare have signed-up to a national initiative to support schools and colleges to help raise the aspirations of young people and improve their understanding of the world of work. The programme will start early 2012.
Inspiring the Future is a free service which will see tens of thousands of people from all sectors and professions volunteering to go into state schools and colleges to talk about their jobs, careers, and the education routes they took. Everyone from CEOs to apprentices can volunteer for Inspiring the Future. Recent graduates, school leavers and people in the early stages of their career can be inspirational to teenagers - being close in age they are easy to relate to; while senior staff have a wealth of knowledge and experience to share.
This is especially important to the 1.9 million children who live in workless households. Such children lack the family connections that can provide information and encouragement to help young people navigate their way through the educational system into work of choice.
