About Own Futures

Michelle Hogan - founder of Own Futures

Welcome!

Hi! My name's Michelle and I am the founder of Own Futures.  
We offer a bespoke careers service that can be tailored to the needs of your school.  We specialise in delivering careers experiences to primary schools as we believe children should be inspired to think about their futures from a young age. 


As a former teacher and Head of Careers, I understand how time consuming it can be to plan and organise events so our service is fully managed.  This means that we do all the planning, including the contacting and  booking  of volunteers if needed, organisation, delivery and evaluation. 


We also understand that all schools are different so ours isn't a 'one size fits all' approach.  We will create a programme that suits your schools needs and works for you.


As well as events and activities we also offer a range of taught lessons which you can be confident will be delivered effectively by a qualified teacher.   Have a look at some of our case studies and testimonials to see what the people we work with say about us!
