Your Future, Your Path

Coventry and Warwickshire Virtual Schools will be holding their second Your Future, Your Path, a raising aspirations event on Tuesday 14 October 2025.

These sessions are designed to equip young people in care from Year 10 to Year 13 with the knowledge and confidence to explore their post-16 options. Each term, we will host engaging events featuring guest speakers from Apprenticeships, Higher Education, the Armed Forces, and various employment sectors, alongside tailored support services designed to meet their needs. Our goal is to ensure every young person has access to valuable insights and the guidance they deserve, equipping them to make informed decisions about their future.

We will be excited to welcome guest speakers Jen Emeny-Green, from Think Active CSW, Coach Core, and The Outdoor Partnership Coventry. They will lead a lively and interactive session exploring the wide range of career pathways and apprenticeship opportunities available across the leisure, sports, and outdoor sectors.
