Our Youth Insights Programme, delivered by Solutions for the Planet, connects young people with some of the UKโ€™s largest businesses, giving them the opportunity to influence real decisions on themes such as energy, sustainability and innovation.

๐Ÿ”น Whatโ€™s involved?

Over one academic year, participants take part in:

  • 6 hours of online panel sessions with business professionals, sharing their views on real-world challenges
  • 6 hours of pre-session learning, introducing them to the sector and the issues to be discussed at the session.

All sessions are delivered online and out of school hours, so they work alongside the school timetable.

๐Ÿ”น Why it meets the expectations for Modern Work Experience:

โœ” Meets 6 of the 8 Gatsby Benchmarks (including 2, 4, 5 and 6)
โœ” Students engage in meaningful, project-based experiences โ€” not just passive observation
โœ” Accessible, inclusive and flexible for students with different learning needs
โœ” Includes induction, skill development and structured reflection

๐Ÿ“ How to get involved:

 Weโ€™re now inviting:

  • Students to complete a short Expression of Interest so they can be contacted directly when panels open
