METHODS OF FUTURE MAKERS Your 4 ways to reach out to young people

Guest hour

A guest lesson is a 45-minute school lesson in one specialty, profession or skills required in the world of work. Teachers add an invitation to the guest teacher on our website. Our system will notify suitable candidates. The guest lesson can be given both face-to-face and online.

Teacher, invite a guest to your class

Study visit

A study visit is a 1-2-hour organizational visit, during which students in one class get acquainted with the working environment of a company or institution, including all kinds of premises , equipment, employees and what their duties are. A representative of the organization will add an invitation to the class on the Future Makers platform.

Job shadowing

During job shadowing, the student observes the working day of one employee for 4-8 hours or they meet virtually for 45 minutes. Ready to take a job shadow? Let me know! During the shading, the student asks questions and learns as much as possible about the work and field of interest to himself.

THE INFLUENCE OF THE MAKERS OF THE FUTURE We help students find their vocation

Many high school students today do not know their vocation and make the choice of further education quite by chance. This causes uncertainty about the future. PISA surveys in 2018 showed that 85% of Estonian capable students do not believe that they will work as a professional or manager at the age of 30. According to Anthony Mann, senior analyst in education at the OECD, career guidance in human history has not been as important in the past as it is now, with the number of job choices skyrocketing. Guest lessons, study visits to work and student shadowing introduce students to today's professions and areas of work, as well as the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed in life. With these 4 methods, we raise young people's awareness and confidence to enter an independent life. Research shows that the messages of those in their field are authentic, have a compelling effect on young people and offer value.

Education and job choices

The working world is immensely exciting and so full of possibilities that it can be a little overwhelming at first. Young people are looking for direction. Help them by telling them about your journey. Talk about challenges, victories, losses, joys and worries. Talk about the specifics and demands of your work. They will take away valuable information that will stick with them forever. Our efforts help students learn the endless career opportunities they have. We are here to help students find their way.

Entrepreneurial lifestyle

Support the development of an entrepreneurial attitude in students. Help them grow their knowledge and skills necessary for fostering financial wisdom and understanding business practices. We help students grow into active designers of their lives. Our activities support the implementation of the objectives of subjects such as entrepreneurship and economics in schools.
