The Future Careers Build Back Fund 2021

The Future Careers Build Back Fund 2021 is available to secondary schools, further education (FE) and sixth form colleges in a competitive grant process. Each secondary school and college may apply for up to £2000 with the option to make an application in July or October 2021.

It is our ambition that The Future Careers Build Back Fund 2021 provides support to specifically assist schools and colleges in the “Building Back” of their careers provision post COVID-19.

As many schools and colleges now start to consider what a post pandemic careers programme might look like, it is likely that a blended approach in smaller groups may continue through to next year, with the need for additional provision shaping or delivery resources. 

In order to support Warwickshire schools and colleges to maintain the high standards of provision we have seen throughout the pandemic, we wish to invite applications which specifically demonstrate the “Building Back” of careers programmes which can demonstrate a series of positive outcomes. 

All activity must be sustainable and measurable, whilst lending itself well to maintaining career benchmark and quality standards. If successful, programme officers will work with schools and colleges to capture outputs and report on the impact the fund has provided to each school or college awarded.

The fund will be available from July 2021 with two rounds of applications. 

The July round will support schools who have identified immediate needs and would benefit from moving this work forward right away. 

October’s round will then be available for schools who have yet to identify work/projects and would benefit from autumn funds to accommodate future needs. 

Successful applications will be processed and paid on receipt of an invoice. Warwickshire County Council (WCC) terms of payment apply.
