The programme is designed for young people aged 14 to 24. We can tailor elements for specific year groups or settings where required.

Shaping Futures is delivered as two 12 week modules, Essential Skills and Career Skills, each with up to 30 students per cohort. Sessions run weekly, in or off timetable, with no additional burden on school staff. We also offer an Adapted Skills track for students with autism, ADHD, social, emotional and mental health needs or other additional learning requirements, delivered in small groups of 8 to 12.

In Essential Skills, students build resilience, self management, critical thinking, communication and adaptability, culminating in a Capstone Project where they solve a real challenge facing their school or community. In Career Skills, students explore career pathways through employer engagement via our Scenario and Opportunity Hub, and leave with a personal development plan and a career portfolio built on our digital platform.

Each 12 week module costs £2,300 (around £77 per student, Pupil Premium eligible). Subsidised rates may be available in some cases, please speak to our team. Annual partnerships covering multiple cohorts are also available.

Schools can complete our online School Registration Form or book a discovery call directly. A member of our team will then arrange an introductory meeting, talk through delivery and funding options, and guide you through registration.

We've supported over 3,000 young people since 2020, with a 98% programme completion rate. 85% of students report feeling more confident handling change, and the majority go on to complete a full career portfolio showcasing their growth and readiness for the job market. Our work has been recognised by the BBC and the Peter Jones Foundation.
