Join us for this breakfast briefing to learn more about getting involved with this summer’s Bankside Futures, a career discovery programme for young people aged 16 – 18 who study or live in Southwark.
We need Bankside businesses to help deliver Bankside Futures. Business volunteers are key to the success of the programme, and there are a multitude of ways that you can get involved.
Come along to this breakfast event to learn about the different volunteering opportunities for your business or for yourself. If you’ve taken part in Bankside Futures in the past, or have already expressed interest in this summer’s programme, you are also welcome to attend this event.
At the event, you will hear from Sculpt UK, delivery partner for Bankside Futures, about all the ways that Bankside businesses can help young people learn about the world of work; whether that’s providing an insight into your sector and its career pathways, delivering a skills-based workshop or helping young people on the programme practice their networking and interview skills.
There will also be time to network with other Bankside businesses over tea, coffee and pastries.
What is Bankside Futures?
Bankside Futures is a career discovery programme for young people aged 16 – 18 who study or live in Southwark. It is designed to help them learn about the world of work by meeting a range of Bankside businesses and creating a social action project in their community.
Over two weeks, from 7 to 18 July, young people will take part in work experience with a twist as they discover new career pathways, take part in tailored workshops, work experience mornings, networking opportunities and mock interviews. Additionally, in small teams, they will use the skills they have developed to create a social action project about something they care about that is affecting Southwark and present this to friends, family, employers and local businesses at the end of the programme.
