35 Islanders have signed up to a platform designed to "show young people exciting futures" since it was introduced in Jersey last month.
Inspiring The Future is an online match-making platform, which connects schools and colleges with appropriate volunteers from a range of sectors and professions matching their particular requirements.
The initiative was set up in the island thanks to a partnership with UK charity Education and Employers, Every Child Our Future, and Skills Jersey. Official launch partner, Ports of Jersey, also supported an initial pilot scheme which took place in Janvrin and Samarès schools over the summer term.

Since it launched in Jersey in August, 35 islanders have volunteer to help "inspire the future".
Islanders happy to speak to students about their line of work, can find out more information and sign up to the programme online or by emailing inspiringthefuture@gov.je.
