EDUCATION
Our programmes
Since 2020, Tomorrow’s Company has been delivering business education programmes for young people in the UK aged up to 19 years old. Our two pioneering programmes form part of our vision for business to be a force for good in society by encouraging future-focused entrepreneurship and fostering an enterprising mindset among the next generation of decision makers and employees.
Our school programme is also an excellent way for businesses to play a vital role in the coaching and mentoring of essential skills in young people most in need of support in deprived areas of the UK.
In 2025, Tomorrow's Company launched a foundation committed to furthering our beliefs and ethos among the next generation of employees, business leaders and entrepreneurs. The 'Tomorrow's Enterprise Foundation' will be a dedicated division of our charity focusing on three key areas:
-
Reinvigorating the teaching of business education using our many decades of research and work in this area
-
Inspiring and nurturing the next generation of entrepreneurs and business leaders
-
Improving employment opportunities for young people most in need
Our programme for schools
‘Project Can Do‘ is a pioneering business and enterprise coaching programme for young people aged between 14 to 16. It is delivered in schools and academies in some of the more deprived regions of the UK. It has been designed in partnership with educators, business experts, local authorities and young people to create a educational experience that bridges the gap between education and employment.
Project Can Do has been proven to build confidence, unlock potential, develop essential skills and allows students to engage meaningfully with local organisations, employers and training providers.
The key aims of Project Can are:
-
Developing a range of transferable business and life skills for students most at risk of becoming NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training) Increasing social mobility in regions of limited opportunity
-
Giving access to meaningful career pathways
-
Raising student aspirations
-
Providing effective and engaging alternative education provisions for students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Promoting good civic-minded practice and behaviour
-
Furthering the work of Tomorrow’s Company to inspire and enable businesses to be a force for good in society.
“To us, entrepreneurship and enterprise is about much more than just starting a business – it instils life skills such as the ability to think creatively and ambitiously. It’s about engaging with the world around you, being curious, embracing failure, identifying challenges and seizing opportunities.
Entrepreneurial skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, teamwork, and resilience are life skills that will help young people to thrive in all areas of their life.
Whether it's a journey of entrepreneurship or a pathway to purposeful employment, all young people should be given the head start they need to be happy, to flourish and to help create a world that we can all be proud of. ”
Jonathan Maguire
Programme Director, Tomorrow's Company Academy
Over the course of eight highly-engaging workshops students learn, practice and master a portfolio of essential skills, including teamwork, leadership, communication, resilience and problem solving.
These skills are introduced during the first half of the programme and then put into action when the teams are tasked with designing and developing an enterprising idea that enhances their local community.
On the final day of the programme, the teams present their enterprise ideas to a room of their peers, teachers and members of the local community. The teams are supported and mentored during the final half of the programme to create a fully-formed business plan and coached to present their ideas to a professional standard.
This final presentation day is usually held off-site in the offices of one of our local partners. This provides students an opportunity to experience a professional environment, to meet the employees and to learn about the job functions and potential career paths within that organisation.
