Overview
Working out what to do when you finish school is really important. In fact, it could be one of the biggest choices you’ll ever make. That’s why next year, we’ll be hosting our first #FuturesUP festival, and you’re invited! We're hosting it over three days, with each day focussed on a different region, so you can meet with employers in your local region, depending on where you live!
Hosted across 3 days, you’ll be able to engage directly with world-class employers whilst gaining valuable online work experience across a range of industries. You’ll be able to discover whereabouts your current subjects can take you, deep dive into interesting topics led by business professionals, and think BIG when it comes to writing an application or CV. The careers represented include:

Day 1 will be focussed on companies and students based in London, and the South East and South West of England.
