What is Future Quest?

Future Quest was set up in 2017 as a regional partnership to combat educational inequality for young people in the region. With its industrial history and geography, together with its educational landscape, Bristol provides a complex picture of skills progression within the city and surrounding region which reflects some of the biggest contrasts in the UK.  

Future Quest is a UWE Bristol led programme which delivers in over 75 schools and colleges in the Bristol and South Gloucestershire region. We work with school and college communities to understand the needs of the young people and use our creative framework to select and slot together activities across four themes: strengths, skills, pathways and encounters to build progressive and connected packages of outreach which can be timetabled into the academic year.  

This is complemented by specialist coaching, mentoring and careers guidance for target groups who need additional support, and we work closely with our partner providers to tailor this for individuals. Each activity package is bespoke to the institution or group that it is delivered to and much of it is developed in collaboration with higher education academic staff and students as well as employers.
