Whether you’re an SME or a multinational, we need UK employers like you to help us offer young people from disadvantaged backgrounds life-changing opportunities they would otherwise struggle to access. Our flexible work experience options can be scaled to suit your organisation and take a lot of the administrative burden out of offering work experience. With support available to guide you as you explore the benefits of remote work experience, in-person work experience, or a mix of both with hybrid work experience, whatever the size of your organisation, your participation is welcomed and can make a difference.

We aim to make offering talks, Insight Days and work experience with us accessible to every employer.  

It costs our charity £1,400 to support one secondary school or college with work experience placements, however, we don’t charge schools or students, and more than 90% of our income comes from donations. We ask that employers consider making donations to support our charity so that we can help young people, grow our networks and reach more young talents in the years to come. 

As part of our standard offer, we will provide practical support and guidance, and we will also promote your opportunities across our school and college network. If you are looking for a solution with even more flexibility and benefits, we would recommend you consider our costed Managed Service option which includes additional support with marketing to advertise your work experience, placement feedback, impact reporting as well as the option to cater to any other bespoke requirements you may have. 

Partnering with Futures For All will provide you with an easy way to improve your organisation’s youth engagement and strengthen your talent pipeline by making it more inclusive and sustainable. We work with over 2,700 state schools and colleges across the UK and can help you target under-represented groups in any postcode therefore increasing your chances of uncovering the best early talent in hard-to-reach places you might otherwise have overlooked – including traditional cold spots and under-served geographical areas. We understand the pressures facing employers in the current economic climate and all our educational programmes are designed to help you attract emerging talent and build much-needed essential skills to ease the school-to-employment transition and create a work-ready future workforce. 

Futures For All endeavour to be as inclusive as possible when it comes to accommodating young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) or additional support needs (ASN). Remote work experience removes some of the barriers to participation these young people typically face, but we recognise that sometimes a more tailored approach is needed. 
 

Where it is supported by the employer, we will offer hybrid placements that are specially designed to cater for young people with SEND or ASN. These placements tend to comprise shorter sessions delivered across a longer time period and require a much higher level of supervision from the school/college. Generally, they will include classroom activities as well as an in-person element, which will require students to visit an employer’s site. 
 

Educators representing SEND schools or colleges who would like to explore this type of opportunity for a group of students should contact us to discuss their requirements further.
