Testimonials
If you're interested in 50 Futures, take a look at what some of our participants thought about the programme:
"I really enjoyed the 50 Futures work experience. It gave me the confidence to know I could do the job before completing the application. This made me more positive going into the interview."
"Working with the children, seeing the difference I can make has given me purpose and brought back my confidence. To anyone out there in a similar position my advice is take advantage of the opportunities available through 50 Futures and to go for it."
"After being out of work for so long 50 Futures was exactly what I needed. It gave me an opportunity to prove myself in the workplace before I even had the interview which was a massive confidence boost."
