Why do your T Level students need Launching Futures?  

 

Even with great teaching, many learners enter industry placements unprepared — costing time, confidence, & opportunities. Learners enter into their placements with:

  • Learner readiness falling short

  • Low learner confidence and resilience

  • No prior work experience

  • Limited self-reflections skills

  • Lack of resilience & self-belief
