For my Future Frontiers programme, I enjoyed learning about what career values and interests I hold. It was also fun and interesting to learn what those values and interests could lead to what job I want to and can do in the future. I also liked working with my coach as he told me their career path and what career I could have in the future and how I could get into it. Altogether, I enjoyed working with the people working there and seeing what values and interests I have and what job that could lead me to in the future. BA [10P]

Over the past two weeks, I have been taking part in the Future Frontiers coaching programme with my school, based at the JM Finn office building. The experience has been extremely valuable and inspiring, as it has given me the opportunity to learn more about different careers and future pathways. One of the best parts of the programme has been the one-to-one mentoring sessions, where experienced professionals have given me personalised advice, guidance, and encouragement. The mentors were very supportive and helped me think more confidently about my future goals and ambitions. Overall, the programme has already helped me develop my communication skills, confidence, and understanding of the world of work, and I am looking forward to completing the final two weeks. LJ [10O]

I really enjoyed taking part in the future frontiers programme at JM Finn. Over the four sessions, I had the opportunity to work with a mentor who was very lively, energetic and easy to talk to, which made every session enjoyable and engaging. The programme helped me to think more about my future options and gave me useful advice about education and careers. I felt comfortable asking questions and discussing my ideas, and each session was both informative and fun. Overall, it was a valuable experience that helped build my confidence and gave me a better understanding of future opportunities. MJ [10B]    

The programme was beneficial as it helped me get a broader view on what to do in the future. I developed better communication skills by talking to my coach and improved how well I can express myself. Overall, the programme was eye-opening and valuable to me because it gave me a clearer idea of what I want to do in the future. TS [10P] 

1st Session: The first session was very useful because I completed a survey that helped me discover a range of job roles. One of the roles stood out to me as particularly interesting. 

2nd Session: I gained an insightful understanding of various job sectors in greater depth and identified the engineering field that interested me the most. 

3rd Session: I finalised my decision and discussed the pathways and steps needed to progress towards my chosen job role. 

4th Session: I spoke with someone who works in my desired job role and learnt about their day-to-day responsibilities. I found the role very appealing, which further reinforced my career choice. WS [10O]
