A creative look at modern work experience...

Unbox Your Future is a progressive careers programme that gives groups of students from Years 7–11 early, inclusive experiences of the workplace. The model is structured around short, hourly sessions spread over several weeks, with three sessions in school and one at the employer’s workplace. This reduces time pressure on schools and employers, while helping students to build relationships and develop confidence over time. Through employer encounters, workplace visits, and practical activities, students gain a stronger understanding of career pathways and the skills required in the world of work. The programme supports schools in meeting the Gatsby Benchmarks and is particularly effective in ensuring disadvantaged students with are actively included in meaningful opportunities.
