Inspiring aviation

We’re sparking curiosity about aviation through hands-on events and immersive activities, linking young people with industry professionals to explore a range of careers.

Why it works

It's research based

Our many research studies show the impact of young people chatting – and quizzing – a variety of workplace volunteers:

Broadens and raises their aspirations.

Excites them about subjects – which increases their motivation to learn.

Breaks down stereotypes about who can do what job.

Reduces their likelihood of Not being in Education, Employment or Training (NEET)

Plus increasing earning potential and more.

It’s a simple idea of bringing schools and companies together, that’s got a lot of complex thinking, software, research and hard work behind it.

Nick Chambers, Founder and CEO

Over the last 15+ years over 85% of secondary schools and 35% of primary schools have signed up to Inspiring The Future.

4,750,000 +

interactions to date between workplace volunteers and young people to inspire and educate them on the world of careers out there.
