Since March, many workers have lost jobs,
contracts, income or been furloughed due to
Covid-19. It is a very uncertain time for our
economy and the job market, not only in the
UK, but the world too.
Young people are particularly vulnerable to the
economic impact of Coronavirus which could
permanently reduce their career prospects.
So to help you ensure your career doesn’t turn
out like one of your mum’s tik toks, we have
created this first edition of the Futures
Magazine to empower you with the
knowledge, both local and national, that you
need to be resilient in this tough time and
grow despite the challenges. It will give you
tools that will allow you to create a career you
love and flourish from the toughest time our
country has seen in a generation.
Good luck, and remember..
YOU CAN DO HARD THINGS.
