The Inspirational Learning Group is excited to announce that the flag carrier airline of the United Kingdom, British Airways is the new sponsor for the Year 8 National Careers Challenge in partnership with NatWest Thrive.
British Airways joins NatWest Thrive, Air Products and Wickes as our sponsors for the 2024/25 academic year which promises to be The National Career Challenge’s most successful year to date.
The “Future Airline Challenge” will see Year 8 students exploring the world of International Travel to create a new subsidiary airline for British Airways that will sit alongside the CityFlyer and EuroFlyer brands. Students must consider who will use their airline, where it will fly and how they will ensure a quality service for their target customer, whilst keeping their airline
sustainable and commercially viable.
Through engaging with the challenge, Year 8 students in schools across the country will enhance their understanding of the essential skills required for success including teamwork, communication and problem-solving. Additionally, the challenge enables young people to bridge the gap between education and employment, empowering them to make informed
decisions and understand the skills needed for their future world of work.
The one-day challenge will be delivered by TILG’s expert facilitation team, with the winners from each day going on to represent their school at The National Careers Challenge Grand Finals in July 2025!
Michael Dyer, co-founder of The Inspirational Learning Group said, “We are delighted to announce British Airways as our final 2024/25 sponsor for The National Careers Challenge. It is an honour to be collaborating with a National institution such as British Airways to inspire young people for their future world of work. The National Careers Challenge enables young people to harness skills not easily taught in the classroom and provides them with a meaningful employer. We are excited to see so many young people engaging with the challenge across the year”.
