Inspiring the Future is an exciting free programme for schools across Aotearoa. Based on local and international research, it challenges stereotypes that can limit young people’s potential – by introducing them to role models from the world of work. Find out more about Inspiring the Future.

The Inspiring the Future team facilitate online events each term. Register below by choosing your own date or an event already scheduled.

Each 50-minute long session will feature two role models who will give an insight into their job and career journey. This is a great opportunity to show students a range of jobs beyond what they see in their everyday lives.

You will need one screen/device that all of the students can see and hear from clearly. You'll also need a teacher or student per screen to take care of things like relaying questions from the rest of the students into the online chat in case the sound from the room is unclear.

Note that we may invite other teachers, stakeholders and our partners to watch these events. If you want to observe one yourself, let us know below.
