We are inviting you to participate!
F4S, in partnership with WWF-UK is offering ‘Sustainable Futures: Virtual Work Experience Day’- a free work insight opportunity for students aged 14 - 18.
Empower Young Minds, Shape a Sustainable Future
Students will experience different workplaces and will connect with role models who actively work to make their company more sustainable.
Programme Structure
📋 Students will have some preliminary reading about the role model speakers prior to attending the event, and learn about the speakers' career journeys and what motivated them to pursue a career in sustainability.
🌍 A Day in Life of a Sustainability Leader: Students will hear from each speaker and find out what a 'day in the life' looks like through the speakers taking them through their day and giving them a virtual workplace tour. Followed by a Q&A.
Lunch
🔍 Skills Deep Dive: Students will connect with sustainability role models in break-out rooms to engage with them and learn more about how key skills such as problem solving, critical thinking, creativity and more are applied to careers in sustainability.
🧠 Students will be introduced to some of the sustainability skills discussed at the event through a compulsory post-event project which is to be submitted to F4S. Students will be asked to examine a real business task related to sustainability and explore ways to address the issue by putting the skills they learned about in the workshop into practice.
