Sherry Coutu, Chairman of Founders4Schools, which is celebrating its first birthday today, welcomed the news pointing out that, for the first time, the three main blocks to workplace visits - time, cost and access - have now been removed.

F4S then arranges the rest – at no cost to the schools. Teachers across the country are being urged to visit Founders4Schools at secure a Workplace Visit and select local tech developers, game designers and entrepreneurs for their students to visit.

Workplace Visits will be the best school trip any ambitious child might ever imagine! If teachers act now, millions of teenagers will have the opportunity before the start of the summer holidays to get insights into how the subjects they’ve learnt can help them in their future careers. Founders4Schools has enlisted the support of its 10,000-strong network of business leaders to offer teenagers unprecedented access during June and July to the world of work at some of the country’s most innovative and fast-growing companies. Founders4Schools has created a new event type, the third in our suite of employability services Workplace Visits.
