Why it works

Key research findings

Our many research studies with children and schools evidence that encounters children have with people from the world of work:

  • Broaden young peoples’ horizons and raise their aspirations
  • Excite children about subjects, increasing motivation, confidence and attitude to learning
  • Challenge stereotypes including gender and social
  • Improve academic attainment at GCSE
  • Increase young people’s earning potential
  • Reduce the likelihood of young people becoming NEET (not in education, employment or training)

Over 80% of secondary schools and 35% of primary schools are signed up to Inspiring The Future.

interactions between workplace volunteers and children and young people

It’s a simple idea of bringing schools and companies together, that’s got a lot of complex thinking, software, research and hard work behind it.

Nick Chambers, Founder and CEO

Meeting the volunteers has given me courage to know that I can make lots of things. I have also found out about lots more jobs.
