So what did you want to be when you were growing up?
Whether our young people want to be an astronaut or an artist or anything in between, we are completely committed to helping them realise futures that are out of this world.
We believe that young people should be judged by the person they become, and not the box they tick. From this belief WG Futures has been born, a unique way to completely support every young person into the future they deserve.
Developed in complete collaboration with schools, employers and young people, WG Futures is all about delivering unlimited aspiration and endless opportunity for every child.
Trust us when we say, your child’s future truly matters to us too.
Let’s work together to create an amazing future
We will help your child achieve the future they deserve, full of aspiration, success and fulfilment.
We will provide them with the ambition, confidence and ability to develop, articulate and evidence the knowledge, skills and attributes they possess that enables them to make a successful transition to life beyond education and into employment.
Our WG Futures Principles
The development of our young people’s futures is a Group-wide priority driven by all educational teams, careers support staff, and the dedicated Futures personnel.
We place employability at the heart of the learning experience, both within and outside the curriculum, and provide our young people with the opportunities and support they need to develop into highly attractive and employable candidates.
We utilise direct employer insight, experience and expertise as part of the development of employability programmes and practices that will achieve significant and measurable outcomes for your child.
We will offer a portfolio of career opportunities and work placements that enables all young people to be encouraged to broaden their interests, knowledge and experiences in whatever field they choose to pursue.
Young people will be supported to acquire real understanding of what personal attributes they have to offer employers and the skills they possess. They should in turn be able to demonstrate these to employers in a quantifiable way. Through this they will gain confidence, resilience and ambition, which will present them as ‘ready to work’ to employers.
We will provide our young people with actual job opportunities and unrivalled levels of ongoing support to ensure that their first steps beyond education are successful ones that directly lead to employment.
Get involved
Like every great journey, it is always better when it is shared. We are bonded by the ambition and hope we have for the futures of your child, so the closer we work together, the more that can be achieved.
