Expectations Exceeded
Expectation Exceeded is one of our headline workshops for young people, parents, caregivers, friends, and family members.

You will gain insights into their education, finding work, the technology they use and what support they’ve received. Importantly, participants will be encouraged by the panels experiences and understand the importance of being ambitious through education and into employment.
