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

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