Working with Inspiring the Future, we were able to organise multiple volunteers from creative industries for a day of presentations and workshops to over 350 students. 

"Even having one person come in and talk to them one-to-one makes such a difference and broadens their thinking."

There were talks from a diverse range of volunteers, including a designer of Women-Specific Cricket Clothing, Head of Public Engagement at the Courtauld, a BBC Producer and the founder of a Media company.

"It is essential for employers in creative industries to facilitate these connections with schools and provide opportunities for young people to hear directly from employees in creative roles."

The day provided the students with one-to-one conversations with creatives, giving them a real insight into otherwise unknown career paths, providing tangible next steps to help them along their journeys. 

"I think if I can give any kind of insight to young people, in terms of the different jobs available and the qualities you need to get into these roles, then I should."
