Nothing inspires aspiration like relatable role models. With an experience they can recognise, young people believe they themselves can succeed.
And that’s our aim: to encourage self-belief by introducing Greater Manchester students to inspirational speakers who look and sound just like them – and who can motivate them to achieve great things.
We can provide free inspirational speakers for annual events including British Science Week, World Book Day, Black History Month, National Coding Week and Maths Week.
We can also help to source talks from local role models for your own year round school and college careers events.
