What is Inspiring the Future?

Inspiring the Future is a FREE service whereby employees from all sectors and professions from

Apprentices to CEOs pledge one hour a year to volunteer to go into state schools and colleges to talk about their jobs, careers, and the education routes they took

It is a FREE service endorsed by Government (with cross-party support), the UK’s main teacher and employer representative organisations and many leading employersIt makes a difference to young people. Good quality research shows that who you meet as a teenager shapes the success with which young people go into adult life

Teachers overwhelmingly want young people to hear more from people in the workplace

13Slide14

We have signed up nearly 16,000 volunteers from 4,000 different organisations and our growth is steadily rising

Over 6,000 teachers from more than 3,00 schools and colleges have already signed up, and we have recently launched our Primary Futures campaign to primary schools

Over 40,000 invites have been sent from teachers to volunteers
