The travel, tourism, hospitality and aviation industries are experiencing a talent crisis. Through crowdfunding, we will launch the Future You Foundation, to support the sector.
Founded in 2008, ITT Future You has engaged industry and academia to promote the travel and tourism industry as a career of choice, inspiring the next generation and showcasing individual success stories.
More than 22,000 students and graduates have attended free-of-charge ITT Future You events since its first event at World Travel Market London in November 2009.
In Academic Year 2023/24, ITT Future You will celebrate its 15th Anniversary.
The ‘Future You Foundation’ is a community initiative, bringing talent, education and industry together; to increase the employability prospects of the next generation and build a more sustainable travel industry of the future.
Since 2009, ITT Future You has hosted an annual student and graduate ‘Conference’ at World Travel Market London, 8 ‘On The Road’ events each year and has even hosted 3 ‘Global’ events overseas.
The ITT Future You initiative has managed to get this far, without any funds and purely through good will of industry professionals and individual volunteers.
In order to develop the initiative further needs investment from industry.
Since the pandemic started, ITT Future You and its network of industry volunteers has continued to support the UK aviation, travel, tourism and hospitality industries, as well as academia, by introducing a range of new initiatives:
