As The National Careers Challenge moves into its 12th year of engaging and inspiring young people to develop the skills needed to make informed decisions about their future, the team are delighted to announce world-leading project and programme management consultancy, Faithful+Gould as sponsors of the Year 10 challenge.
The National Careers Challenge is the UK’s largest careers and enterprise competition, providing students in Years 7 to 10 with real-life business challenges set by some of the UK’s leading employers. The award-winning challenge, which has engaged with over half a million young people, is designed in response to sponsor’s real, business-critical needs enabling students to build the skills required for their future world of work.
Co-founder of The Inspirational Learning Group, Ben Dyer said “We are excited to be working with Faithful+Gould on this year’s Year 10 challenge and there are clear synergies between our values at The Inspirational Learning Group and Faithful+Gould including social mobility and enabling inclusive opportunities. The challenge promises to be an engaging and relevant challenge for students across the country and we look forward to a prosperous relationship with Faithful+Gould across the next academic year and beyond”.
The sponsorship was announced on-stage by Dan Heffernan, Faithful+Gould’s Social Value Lead at The National Careers Challenge Grand Finals which were held at The ICC in Birmingham on Wednesday 5th July, where hundreds of young people who had completed this year’s challenges competed to be crowned TNCC 2023 Champions!
Social Value Lead at Faithful+Gould Dan Heffernan says, “Faithful+Gould is extremely proud to be sponsoring The National Careers Challenge, the UK’s largest careers and enterprise programme for young people. This fantastic programme brings to life our commitment to support our future generations and help them to build a legacy for themselves and those around them. This partnership sits at the heart of our educational outreach strategy, and together with our Governors for Schools and STEM Ambassador programmes, we are striving to level the playing field for all young people, whilst also helping to address the diversity and skills crisis that is endemic in the Engineering sector today.
Our engineers will be at the heart of shaping this world, and together with our clients and partners across the globe they are already working hard to address some of our planets most pressing issues. Such as designing masterplans and innovative smart solutions to tackle some of the biggest challenges in city-living, through to leading the charge in the race to Net Zero. So our National Career Challenge will be based on a real world project brief, and our project teams look forward to working with local students as together they come up with innovative solutions to tackle the planets most pressing challenge, climate change”.
