New Futures HQ is a programme designed by Hackney Quest to introduce young people to different career opportunities and be supported to build the right skills to get there.
We do this by partnering with businesses, supporting them to create a range of different opportunities that let young people experience industries first hand, develop their employability skills, learn about career options and benefit from new pathways into work.

Ways to get involved
From a few hours to a few days, work with Hackney Quest to design your own opportunity for young people to come in and experience your workplace and develop a new skill.
Whether it is a few days or a few weeks, give young people the chance to come into your workplace and develop their skills while learning about your industry. Young people will be supported by Hackney Quest mentors to focus on developing their employability skills during this process.
Individual 1:1 for young people aged 18+ from members of your workplace. Introducing young people to your world of work across anything from a one-off session to multiple sessions, depending on their interest.
Hosting workshops and tours to introduce young people to the different roles and opportunities within your workplace. Helping young people understand the skills required for each role and the pathways to get there.
Tailor-made trainee programs and internships for young people in your business. Giving young people the chance to truly explore your industry, build their skills and confidence, and gain the necessary experience to go on to the next step.
Every workplace is different. So we are completely open to you bringing your own ideas and approaches on how to introduce young people to your world of work. So long as you share our passion to increase inclusivity and diversity in the workplace, please keep us informed of job opportunities you have available that young people can apply for.
We also welcome donations and are open to financial partnership with like-minded organisations to assist us in the programme development.
