future leaders programme

At You Be You, we believe in empowering young people to take the lead in shaping a more inclusive future. Our groundbreaking workshop series puts students at the heart of corporate diversity and inclusion training—giving them the opportunity to co-design and deliver impactful workshops directly to businesses.

Why does it matter?

At You Be You, we believe that equipping young people with essential life skills is just as important as academic success. Our workshops are designed to provide students with the tools they need to navigate the world confidently, from communication and leadership to problem-solving and teamwork. In an ever-changing job market, these skills are not only crucial for personal growth but also for future employability.

According to a recent report by UNICEF, 3 in 4 young people worldwide lack the necessary skills to thrive in the workforce. This staggering statistic highlights the growing skills gap and the urgent need to provide young people with practical, real-world abilities that go beyond the classroom.

Our workshops help bridge that gap by offering hands-on learning experiences that focus on developing cultural capital—broadening students' horizons and preparing them for success in diverse environments. Whether it's through public speaking, critical thinking, or creative expression, we give young people the confidence and skills to lead in their communities and excel in their future careers.

Outcomes of the programme

By participating in our life skills workshops, young people gain more than just knowledge—they build resilience, self-awareness, and a strong sense of purpose, all of which are key to shaping the leaders of tomorrow. Traditional diversity training can feel outdated, but we put students at the heart of reshaping it. Key outcomes of this programme include:

  • Skill Development: Students gain essential skills like time management, public speaking, teamwork and leadership for future success.

  • Accountability & Influence: They hold businesses accountable for their equity, diversity and inclusion practices, helping shape workplaces that appeal to the next generation.

  • Professional Networking: Students engage directly with businesses, applying their learning and building valuable career connections.

By leading this change, students define the future of diversity and inclusion, ensuring businesses become more inclusive and equitable.
