FutureReady Launch Event
A collaborative launch uniting employers and educators to connect, engage and shape opportunities for Sunderland’s young people.
This event brings together employers, educators and partners to drive a place-based blueprint for modern work experience and a call to action to shape what comes next across Sunderland.
Designed as an interactive and engaging experience, the event will move beyond awareness into action. You will hear directly from students, explore the challenges they face in accessing meaningful experiences of the workplace, and collaborate with others to shape practical solutions for a modern approach.
Through a mix of storytelling, discussion and hands-on workshop activity, attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how they can get involved.
