The My Digital Future programme, developed by BCS, is designed to make careers in tech accessible to all young people, no matter their background or circumstance. The programme supports 16-24 year olds in the UK who are interested in a tech career and studying a digital or IT related subject. Beneficiaries meet a range of eligibility criteria for entry to the programme, directing support to those who face greater barriers to progress.

My Digital Future provides tailored support for each young person, helping them to realise their ambitions in tech. This could include one-to-one or group coaching, financial support for IT equipment, materials or training, access to the BCS professional community, work placement and mentoring opportunities, and invitations to events and workshops.

An IT career is one of the most powerful catalysts for social mobility but it can be incomprehensible and hard to access without connections to people in the profession. That’s why volunteer coaches are vital to driving a positive impact for participants in My Digital Future.

Coaches provide encouragement, guidance, and feedback regularly. They bring their tech career experience along with valuable insights into different education routes and professional pathways, all of which help young people navigate the key decisions and challenges they may be facing.

My Digital Future can have a significant impact on individual lives, building confidence alongside skills, and providing connections to people and opportunities that advance careers. All volunteers are vetted, provided with training and handbooks to guide their engagements, and have a designated support contact to discuss information, advice, and guidance.

We are looking for volunteers from any industry who have knowledge and experience of tech careers, a commitment to inclusion, and a desire to help young people succeed in education and the workplace.

Volunteer provide monthly remote coaching sessions with students either 1:1 or in small groups. Volunteers are also encouraged to run online workshops/webinars for the wider community of students on the programme, and help connect participants to work placement opportunities across their networks.

Young people remain on programme for up to 3 years, meaning that volunteers can be supporting with transitions from college to higher education, into apprenticeships, or into employment.
