Business Industry and Community Volunteers Working with Schools

My Future My Choice provides unique and innovative education services working with the charity The Bristol Initiative Charitable Trust, addressing the need for all young people to meet a wide range of role models doing different jobs in business, industry or community. 

We run practical workshops building functioning boats, cranes, aeroplanes and life size puppets. These are compelling experiences where small teams of young people are supported by employees who engage them in teamwork and the vast range of exciting opportunities available in life. Older students can benefit from a one to one coaching programme. 

Workshops explore heritage, engineering, science, art and a young person’s future encouraging them to open their minds to all possibilities and have the self-belief that they can be successful and happy in whatever they choose to do.

Events running from 50 minutes to a whole day or across a school year are run in schools, colleges, universities, museums, science centres, business sites and exciting cultural venues or landscapes.

Central to all workshops is understanding that teamwork and communication skills are routes to success. All the activities create student produced performances and displays or real tests of engineering skills through competitions that celebrate young people’s achievements, wit and ingenuity.
