Teachers & Advisors

Shaping Futures provide schools with high quality, impartial, information, advice, and guidance activities, to support students in making informed choices and fulfilling their potential. Alongside our outreach offer, we provide teacher CPD opportunities and support schools to understand their outreach needs, while working with local strategic partners to collaboratively deliver activity which meets local needs.

Our work contributes to a comprehensive, stable careers programme, with each activity designed with the Gatsby Benchmarks in mind.
