On the 28th and 29th of November 2018, Northern Schools Trust will again host an enthralling programme of presentations and interactive seminars to our cross-trust cohort of Year 12 students at the annual Build My Future Festival.
This unique, award-winning programme provides students with access to life changing opportunities via direct interactions with university and employer partners.
Motivational speakers, group activities and visits, all tailored by career aspiration, allow our young people to explore their professional curiosities, whilst building a personal statement to rival pupils in more affluent settings and from independent schools.
The goal is to encourage and inspire students to take their first steps toward landing the job of their dreams. The team behind Build My Future works to empower young people to take ownership of their futures, with resounding success.
