Better
Futures
Islington Council and Better Space are working towards building a Fairer Islington through creating opportunities that foster an inclusive economy with opportunities for all residents to get into work and set up their own businesses.
The Better Futures programme is designed to facilitate networks and connections that allow Islington residents to quickly understand the inner workings of careers and jobs in certain sectors. Having the opportunity to ask questions to someone with experience or skills in a field of interest, could have a significant impact on your life and choices.
If you are an Islington resident you have the opportunity to connect with mentors who are able to share one-to-one insights on their career journeys, work experience and areas of expertise free of charge.
Please review our mentors’ profiles and sign up below. Please do not reach out to the mentors directly. We will screen the requests, then connect you with the mentors.
