About us

Increasing economic and social pressures means the workforce of the future needs more diverse and flexible work-related skills. Organisations must innovate to remain competitive and they require graduates with work-related skills. Careers guidance and skills development have crucial roles to play.

Each year 400,000 young people make the difficult and challenging decision to follow the higher education route. Some higher education concerns are that:

Employers feel graduates lack key employability skills
A third of graduates regret their choice of course
Many students change subject in the first year
Over 10% of students do not complete their degree
Nearly three quarters of sixth form leavers say that money is their biggest concern

Inspiring Futures understands these issues. It complements the Government’s provision of careers guidance and skills development. It helps in a personalised and targeted way to ensure each young person gains a greater advantage in the competitive world of work.
