EDUCATION
Our programmes
Since 2020, Tomorrow’s Company has been delivering business education programmes for young people in the UK aged up to 19 years old. Our two pioneering programmes form part of our vision for business to be a force for good in society by encouraging future-focused entrepreneurship and fostering an enterprising mindset among the next generation of decision makers and employees.
Our school programme is also an excellent way for businesses to play a vital role in the coaching and mentoring of essential skills in young people most in need of support in deprived areas of the UK.
Over the coming months, Tomorrow's Company will be launching 'The Tomorrow's Company Academy'. The Academy will be a dedicated division of our charity focusing on three key areas:
-
reinvigorating the teaching of business education using our many decades of research and work in this area
-
Inspiring and nurturing the next generation of entrepreneurs and business leaders
-
improving employment opportunities for young people most in need
FOR SCHOOLS
FUTURE SKILLS
PROGRAMME
‘FUTURE SKILLS‘ is a coaching and mentoring programme for young people aged between 14 to 16. It is delivered in schools and academies in some of the more deprived regions of the UK.
It is designed to tackle a range of issues in these regions, most notably:
-
Developing a range of transferable business and life skills for students most at risk of becoming NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training) Increasing social mobility in regions of limited opportunity
-
Giving access to meaningful career pathways
-
Raising student aspirations
-
Providing effective and engaging alternative education provisions for students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Promoting good civic-minded practice and behaviour
-
Furthering the work of Tomorrow’s Company to inspire and enable businesses to be a force for good in society.
“To us, entrepreneurship and enterprise is about much more than just starting a business – it instils life skills such as the ability to think creatively and ambitiously. It’s about engaging with the world around you, being curious, embracing failure, identifying challenges and seizing opportunities.
Entrepreneurial skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, teamwork, and resilience are life skills that will help young people to thrive in all areas of their life.
Whether it's a journey of entrepreneurship or a pathway to purposeful employment, all young people should be given the head start they need to be happy, to flourish and to help create a world that we can all be proud of. ”
Jonathan Maguire
Programme Director, Tomorrow's Company Academy
Over the course of a ten-week programme, the most academically disengaged students develop the essential mindsets and skill sets for success in the world of work, business and life. We ignite a fire of enthusiasm in all of our students, empowering them to seek out purposeful career paths, giving them the skills to successfully gain meaningful employment and the confidence to flourish and lead a life on their own terms.
Our lesson plans are designed in such a way as to give the students the opportunity to learn essential skills, to practice them and then master them by utilising them in a variety of different ways throughout the programme. Each workshop is designed to reflect sophisticated business coaching models used by major organisations with the aim of coaching and nurturing the following skills and aptitudes:
Our weekly workshops have been developed in partnership with business leaders and executive coaches, and then trialed and adapted with the help of over 100 UK students. The growth and expansion plan of our programme has been supported by the Department for Education and the Careers and Enterprise Company. Key partnerships have been established with The Peter Jones Enterprise Company and five key multi-academy trusts around the UK.
