Inspiring the Future is backed by a collaboration of leading organisations representing the fields of education and employment, together with national intermediary bodies.
The initiative is being coordinated by the Education and Employers Taskforce, an independent charity. Visit: http://www.educationandemployers.org/
Inspiring the Future is supported by all the main employer and workforce representative bodies including;
British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), Business in the Community (BiC), Confederation of British Industry (CBI), Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), Institute of Directors (IOD), Federation of Small Business (FSB), UNISON, GMB and Trades Union Congress (TUC).
The initiative is also supported by all the main UK teaching unions and headteacher associations including;
Association of School and College Lecturers (ASCL), Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL), National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT), NASUWT, National College of School Leadership (NCSL) and National Union of Teachers (NUT).
The Government is supporting Inspiring the Future which was highlighted in the government's 2011 Social Mobility Strategy Opening Doors, Breaking Barriers as a way to 'make a difference to raising aspirations and helping people to make informed choices about jobs and careers.'
The Government has committed to encourage all civil servants to participate in the scheme by volunteering in their local schools and colleges.
