Inspiring the future in NZ
March 7, 2020
The TEC is trialling the UK “inspiring Futures” programme in NZ primary schools.
The programme connects primary and intermediate school students with volunteers from the world of work in a fun and inspiring event that broadens students’ horizons about future work possibilities.
Volunteers talk about their jobs, the career pathway they took, any challenges they faced and the skills they have developed.
