Uptree

INTRODUCTION

Uptree runs regular events called #FuturesUp for young people aged 16-19.  We aim to inspire and motivate you about possible pathways after education and allows you to connect with a range of different employers, professionals and other young people; allowing you to start to build a professional network.

OBJECTIVES

1. Inform and inspire young people about the careers available in different industries that they may not know of.
2. Allow employers, companies and training providers to reach out to a diverse range of young people, and raise awareness of their own apprenticeship schemes or brands.
3. Allow young people to connect with employer and industries that they may not otherwise have access to.
