This is the place for parents, advisors and employers to find out the essential information you need to know about Futureworks.
There are more pages around the site relating to careers and student services, but this is a good place to start.
Futureworks has built strong relationships with many of the Northwest’s schools and colleges and we are always looking for more opportunities to engage with teachers, careers advisors and anyone involved in the provision of Further Education. We’ve helped colleges develop their curricula, been involved with assessment design, have set industry-style projects for students, run competitions and have even helped to mark student work – we’re always keen to help shape the future of aspiring media professionals!
We don’t want you to take our word for it though, we want you and your students to experience for yourselves the passion and enthusiasm we each share for combining cutting-edge practical skills with academic excellence.
We are always happy to arrange for us to come and see you at any in-house future events you may be running, where we can give students the relevant information they need.
Alternatively, we could arrange a time for you and your students to come to Futureworks to have a look around our amazing facilities, and chat to our tutors at a time that is suitable for you.
If you would like to speak to someone about arranging a visit to your school or for you to visit us, please call the Liaison Team on 0161 214 4600 or email liaison@futureworks.ac.uk . We’d love to hear from you!
