      <image:title>News - International Women’s Day 2026: What we wish we’d known as young women - Caroline - Show young women the map</image:title>
      <image:caption>I wish someone had simply sat me down and asked, “What do you want to do?” As a young woman, I didn’t need someone to tell me what to do. I needed someone to show me the map of options available. At 18, I thought there was only one right way forward. I didn’t realise that paths into education and careers could be flexible and varied. Because I lacked that guidance, I took the long way around. I eventually earned my degree as an adult, something I’m incredibly proud of, but it meant juggling full-time work and parenting at the same time.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - International Women’s Day 2026: What we wish we’d known as young women - Liz - Growth happens outside your comfort zone</image:title>
      <image:caption>I wish I had been told that real progression and growth happens by doing things that push you outside of your comfort zone. Confidence can only be gained by striving for something new! I now try to impart this little bit of wisdom in all my encounters with young people, encouraging them to do things even if they are nervous as the accomplishment of doing it outweighs the nerves.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - International Women’s Day 2026: What we wish we’d known as young women - Amaia - Remember that the world is bigger than you can see</image:title>
      <image:caption>When I was younger, I thought my future was only as big as the paths I could see around me. If I couldn’t see someone like me doing something, I assumed it wasn’t for me. Growing up in a small city, the possibilities felt limited. It wasn’t until I moved to London that I realised how much bigger the world could be. Seeing different careers, ideas and people expanded my sense of what was possible.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - International Women’s Day 2026: What we wish we’d known as young women - Faith - You don’t have to have everything figured out</image:title>
      <image:caption>One piece of advice I wish I’d been given earlier is that you don’t have to have everything figured out straight away. When you’re young, it can feel like you need a clear plan or that you should follow the same path as everyone else. Over time, I’ve realised it’s okay to take a different route and focus on what genuinely makes you happy rather than simply following expectations. Another thing I wish I’d learned sooner is the importance of speaking up and valuing your own ideas. Your voice and perspective matter more than you think.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - International Women’s Day 2026: What we wish we’d known as young women - Ruth - Your background shouldn’t define your ceiling</image:title>
      <image:caption>If I could give my younger self advice, it would be this: explore what’s actually out there. There are so many careers you never see if no one around you works in them. Don’t rule something out because it feels “not for people like me.” Look into different pathways, including specialist qualifications and alternatives to the traditional university route. Most importantly, believe that your economic background does not determine your ceiling.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - International Women’s Day 2026: What we wish we’d known as young women - Sarah-Jane - Take up space and lift others up</image:title>
      <image:caption>I wish I’d been told to have more faith in myself, to trust my instincts and follow my heart. Impostor syndrome has followed me throughout my career and still shows up sometimes, even though I’ve achieved things I’m incredibly proud of. I also wish someone had encouraged me earlier to take up space, speak up and stand firmly behind what I believe in. My voice deserves to be heard just as much as any man’s. Now I try to carry that lesson forward. I’m passionate about creating a more equitable society and using my work to amplify voices that often go unheard.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - A “day in the life” as an IT Support Specialist at Aventus IT Solutions - I work a classic 9 to 5, but our team still keeps an eye on things outside those hours in case something urgent comes up. A typical day involves managing support tickets, monitoring device performance, reporting any outages, and identifying potential business development opportunities.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I work closely with my team and senior staff on day‑to‑day enquiries and support clients directly with their technical issues and troubleshooting needs. My role is quite varied because I never know exactly what issues will arise each day. However, I can usually predict what issues may occur, particularly after server installations or cyber security related events. I enjoy the logical flow of resolving technical problems, I find it satisfying. I also like that my work makes a positive difference in our clients’ day and helps to remove disruption so they can get on with their work without stressing about IT.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - A career in communications?&amp;nbsp; - When I was younger, I didn’t really know what a career in communications entailed – so if you do, you’re already one step ahead of the game.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Communications is a broad field. And I mean very broad. It exists everywhere and across almost every sector you can think of. One of the biggest misconceptions is that it’s a single job with a single path. In reality, if one area doesn’t appeal to you, there will almost always be another that does.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - A career in communications?&amp;nbsp; - So where do you begin?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Unlike many professions, there isn’t one specific course you have to take. Yes, you can study PR, communications, media or marketing, but this isn’t essential. What matters most is building transferable skills - especially writing, digital awareness, and an understanding of how messages influence people.  That might sound vague, but it’s actually a huge opportunity.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Name: Aceil Haddad  Age: 35  Job Title: Founder and PR Consultant  Company: Matt PR   1. About Me  I have worked in communications for nearly 15 years. I got my first job at 21 after applying for over 300 jobs. I started in stakeholder engagement and public affairs, working with developers and infrastructure businesses to get planning applications through. I would arrange, attend and support stakeholder engagement sessions within the community, meet with local councillors, MPs and other key stakeholders to walk through projects and feedback any queries or concerns to the project team. In my next role, I took on more corporate affairs work, working with the boards of companies to help shape and communicate their messages. 5 years ago, I set up my own company and I continue to do this.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - Modern work experience: Making it work for young people and employers - Rather than being concentrated into a single block, these experiences are spread over time. Five days take place during Key Stage 3 (Years 7-9), with the remaining five days happening in Key Stage 4 (Years 10-11).</image:title>
      <image:caption>Earlier experiences are about exploration, not career decisions. They help young people build awareness, challenge assumptions, and understand what they are curious about. Exposure to a wide range of roles, sectors, and people broadens what feels possible.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - Modern work experience: Making it work for young people and employers - Years 7–9: A range of short, varied, employer-led activities focused on exploration. These might include talks, projects, workplace visits, virtual sessions, or small group interactions. The aim is to help students encounter different industries, ask questions, and see what work really looks like.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Years 10–11: More focused placement experiences, typically totalling around one week (five days). These allow young people to spend sustained time in a workplace, develop core work-based skills and behaviours, and connect classroom learning to real working environments.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - Shawbrook volunteers inspire St Bonaventure’s students through financial education - Her goal for the sessions was clear:</image:title>
      <image:caption>to demystify personal finance and help students step into adulthood with confidence. Reflecting on her own teenage years, she wishes someone had explained the basics to her like credit scores, savings habits and financial choices before she encountered them for the first time as an adult. With many of the students soon turning 18, Estela’s aspirations for the day was to give them the tools and knowledge to make thoughtful decisions early on. “Even small steps, like opening a savings account or understanding how credit works, can set them up for a lifetime of opportunity,” she says.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - A partnership that walks the talk: Powwow Events &amp;amp; Pimlico Academy - Amanda Edgcumbe, Founder, said: "When I came across Future First, I felt an immediate connection to their mission, especially as someone who grew up in a low-income household and left school at 16. Learning that half of 15-year-olds in the UK don’t believe someone like them can succeed pushed us at Powwow to get involved.”</image:title>
      <image:caption>Powwow was paired with Pimlico Academy and immediately set out to bring their mission to life. Amanda, together with Katie Curzon, Managing Director, visited a business class to speak candidly about entrepreneurship, career journeys, and the realities of starting and running a business.  Katie reflected: “Collaborating with Future First has been a truly uplifting experience for Powwow. Their passion and dedication to creating opportunities for young people is inspiring, and it resonates so strongly with our own values. Our partnership with Pimlico Academy has brought this to life in the most rewarding way.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - A partnership that walks the talk: Powwow Events &amp;amp; Pimlico Academy - Powwow has also attended careers fairs at Pimlico Academy and offered work experience opportunities for a couple of students at the school. Team members Trin and Charlotte recently took part in a school-wide careers event, offering focused Q&amp;As with older year groups. Charlotte McCormack, Project Director, said: "It was such an amazing experience getting to talk to students from Years 7–13 about my career journey, from my education to where I am today.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Day to day, it’s so easy to get caught up in what’s next that we forget to reflect on how far we’ve come. The in-class experience gave me a moment to pause, look back, and feel genuinely proud of my journey so far. "</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - Key changes to Ofsted inspections: what Careers Leaders need to know - From November 2025, a new set of Ofsted inspection toolkits will come into force. There’s good news for Careers Leaders: careers education has a higher profile in the new framework than under the current Education Inspection Framework (EIF).</image:title>
      <image:caption>We’ve taken a look at the key changes you should be aware of and highlighted where alumni engagement can help you demonstrate compliance and strengthen your programme.  Firstly, one-word gradings have gone, replaced by a ‘report card’ system and a 5-point grading scale. More about this on the gov.uk website.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - Alumni engagement: a cost effective way to meet your statutory requirements</image:title>
      <image:caption>The keenly awaited Statutory guidance: Careers guidance and access for education and training providers was published by the Department for Education on 8 May 2025. At Future First we were pleased to see a clear focus on alumni engagement as a key route to an engaging, compliant careers programme. Read on for our take on how harnessing your alumni community will enable you to meet the new statutory requirements, particularly the 2 weeks’ worth of work experience, without significant financial outlay. The DfE statutory guidance sets out clear areas where alumni engagement could be a great way for your school to meet the requirements:</image:caption>
