About us:
Aspiring Futures is a Careers Advice and Guidance service delivering the Council's statutory duty to encourage, enable and assist young people to participate in education or training. Within Raising Participation Age government guidance (RPA), we raise young people's aspirations and support them to have a smooth transition into Employment, Education or Training. Tracking young people's participation is a key role and we are required to collect information about young people so that those who are not participating, or are 'Not in Employment, Education or Training' (NEET), can be identified and given support to re-engage.
The Progress with Unity plan is a place movement for change for the next decade, bringing a new era for Wigan Borough. It draws on the strengths of our individual organisations, recognising that together we can achieve much more for our communities by delivering on our 2 place missions; create fair opportunities for all children, families, residents and businesses and make our towns and neighbourhoods flourish for those who live and work in them.
Here at Wigan, we are proud to support flexible working patterns, when the service can accommodate this. We also take a blended approach to where we work, depending on the work we do. This may include working from home, the office, or the community.
