Preparing students for Future Success

THE FUTURE SUCCESS EXPERIENCE

FUTURE SUCCESS is a course designed to get students working together. A course about collaboration and sharing that enables and develops employability and global talent. During the course students work collaboratively on a series of projects that focus on the mindset and attitude needed for the future job market, while developing the key communicating tool of that market, the English language. The projects grow in length and complexity and in line with STEAM’s principles of integrating science, technology, engineering, the arts and maths, they give students the opportunity to contribute their existing knowledge while learning from others.

In learning spaces, physical and virtual, designed to make it easier to work together and alongside multi-disciplinary tutors, students work without barriers to create, innovate and collaborate inside and outside the school.

THE REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE

STAGE 1
THE FOUNDATION

Building 21st century skills such as teamwork, communication, creativity and critical thinking, with more practical skills of project planning, time-management and giving presentations. Skills are developed through stand alone workshops and a short project spanning three days, specifically designed to incorporate elements of all of these skills.

STAGE 2
THE PRACTICE

Builds on the foundation and sees the students being introduced to the world of work by connecting with a local company. The company sets a real world brief, provides support, expertise and finally feedback as the students put the skills they have learned into practice and work in teams to plan, produce and present their projects.

THE WORKING ENVIRONMENT

THE HUB

Designated solely for FUTURE SUCCESS, adaptable for workshops and designed for flexibility and collaboration, with the latest touch screen technology for presenting, students are encouraged to own the space while they are on the course, to establish meeting, study, research and relaxation spaces as required.

THE ONLINE PLATFORM

Introducing students to current collaborative-working technology FUTURE SUCCESS is backed up by the use of G Suite for business. Linked into the platform and given access to powerful collaborative and creative online tools to promote teamwork, interaction and project development, students have interconnectivity 24 hours a day.
