Focus Groups - Preparing young people for the future world of work. Co-hosted by Future Foundations and NESTA

Focus Groups:  15.30 to 18.00  

Future Foundations and NESTA (National Endowment for Science Technology and the Arts) are co-hosting focus groups to explore how we can help prepare young people for an unknown but rapidly changing future. 

NESTA's Future Innovators Programme plans to publish a series of essays that set out a range of views on how best to prepare young people for an unknown future.

The focus groups will combine the regular Sparkle networking opportunity with members of NESTA’s networks who are interested in the views of ambitious 20 to 30-year-olds on this topic. 

Future Foundations is inviting members of the Sparkle Network to take part in the focus groups, which will operate on an invite only basis. 

If you are a member of the Sparkle Network, a current university student or in your 20s and are keen to share your views with us, please register your interest in taking part above. 

We will then review your registration form and let you know whether or not you have been selected to take part.  

The focus groups will be followed by Future Foundation's Sparkle Networking event.
