Securely connecting schools with volunteers from the world of work

At an Inspiring the Future event, young people hear from volunteer role models in their communities, learn about different jobs and why people love doing them, as well as their pathway and challenges they faced along the way.

For role models who volunteer to take part, Inspiring the Future is a great way to give back to their community and be seen as a positive role model for our young people.

For schools that hold an event, Inspiring the Future can expand their student’s sense of what’s possible and deliver to the curriculum at the same time.

South Dublin Partnership believes Every Connection Matters

Empowering Ireland's Youth for Career Success

Inspiring the Future Ireland (ITFI) is a free, mostly school-based careers education programme. We work to inspire and motivate young people to reach their full potential as they transition from school towards economic independence through many different avenues, such as 3rd level education, apprenticeships, traineeships and/or long-term sustainable employment opportunities. ITFI demonstrates a range of career possibilities to young people through engagement with positive career role models working and living in our community, who share the varied pathways they have taken to reach their career goals. Currently our project offers career development workshops, unique work experiences with leading employers, university access events and thematic interactive development events. ITFI is the leading connection between young people and career professionals and has been developed to ensure the best opportunities are provided to these young people.
