What is Bright Futures?  

Bright Futures is a national student organisation geared towards helping Students to:

i) Make informed career choices

ii) Network with Top Graduate Employers

iii) Develop their employability skills and commercial awareness whilst still at university to ensure that they stand out and get that Top Graduate Job upon graduation.

 

Bright Futures membership allows Employers to:

i) Have direct access to the most proactive and talented pool of students early on in their university career

ii)  Assist in developing the commercial awareness and employability of students from their first year of university onwards to ensure that they are of a high calibre and ready to join their organisation upon graduation.

iii) Collaborate with Bright Futures committee members who will deliver high quality on-campus events helping to target the right students for their recruitment process and to raise brand profile at universities around the UK.

 

Our Values

We want our students to have a successful career, so to aid this we have created our 'Foundations for Success' model, which has 3 key principles to being successful in life

1. 'Certainty of Purpose'

Knowing what you really want and why.

2. The 'Mastermind Principle'

By surrounding yourself with people who have different experiences and knowledge, they can help you not just find that certainty of purpose but achieve it too.

3. 'Personal Responsibility'

It's up to you to make it happen!  To achieve that success you must take action, and the Bright Futures Society provides a tool to take that action.

Our History

SIS was started in 1977 by a group of students at Cambridge University who were keen to develop their commercial awareness and their portfolio of transferable skills. 

After initial success at Cambridge, the group of students approached ‘The Industrial Society’ for some more formal support.  The Industrial Society set up a network of similar societies at a number of universities across the country and the Student Industrial Society was born!

In January 2007 the Society had new leadership, and as part of this was rebranded as The Bright Futures Society. Many positive changes have followed but the Society remains true to it's roots. We exist to help students learn about, secure and have a successful career. 

We now work with graduate employers, students and other partners, coaching undergraduates not only in the skills to get the job, but the skills they need to excel in their chosen career.

 

Role of the National Team

All Bright Futures Societies are coordinated by a full-time national team in Bright Futures Resourcing. This national team works closely with top employers to give students the best chance of securing the best jobs. By the time these students become graduates, they are commercially aware and ready for work!  CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT MORE >>...
