Reach your #futuregoals
From the Army to Project Management
``With the military, everything is pretty much command and control. Here as a scrum master, I am now in a position where my responsibility is to work with the team and to be a coach. It is so much different in the military where you take commands and now I am happy to facilitate and help others do their job better.``
Inspiring students
``Students like the ‘local’ information and 60 second videos found on FutureGoals; the students found it really inspirational.``
Student to Digital Mastermind
``When graduating from Leeds Beckett University, I genuinely didn’t know what I wanted to do with my career. My first role was recruiting technologists from Junior Software Engineers, to Tech Leads. I remember my first day all I heard were words like Java, .Net, Business Analyst and I thought to myself – how will I ever know what these things mean? Now here I am working in a digital role for Mastek as their Graduate Programme Lead.``
We loved the teaching resources
``As a result of attending a FutureGoals teacher CPD session I now understand how my role relates to Gatsby Benchmark 4 (linking careers to the curriculum) and I have classroom resources that I can take away and use in my lessons.``
Influencing the education system
``I thought volunteering in a school was an opportunity for me to give back to my community, but I’ve actually gained so much more than that which has helped me and my business.``
