Virtual Volunteering
Our schools programme is one of the largest industry-supported employability iniatives in the UK and has trained over 130,000 young people across more than 30% of UK secondary schools. Through our workshops, students develop their skills for work and learn about the range of jobs available in our industry. Volunteering for a workshop has never been easier, and enables us to support thousands more young people with your help.
How to get involved
Our school workshops consist of one-hour webinars with up to four industry professionals. Help students explore career paths and develop employability skills.
As a volunteer, you’ll join virtual events led by professional facilitators. Minimal prep required - we’ll support you with a briefing and rehearsal.
What you’ll do
You’ll answer questions about your job, career journey, and the skills you use. No prep needed - just your insights and enthusiasm.
Typical questions include:
What’s a day in your job like?
What skills do you use?
How did you get into the industry?
What advice would you give your younger self?
Don't worry, we'll brief you before your session!
