At Dains, we are committed to preparing young people with the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the workplace. We believe every young person deserves to know that their future matters, and to have the opportunity to explore it.
To support this, we offer Future Ready: Opening Doors for Tomorrow’s Talent, our annual work experience programme designed to give students a real insight into life in the professional services sector.
Research shows that the majority of young people feel work experience boosts their confidence and helps clarify their future plans, yet many believe access to these opportunities still depends too much on personal connections. At Dains, we are working to change that.
We know that social mobility plays a vital role in creating fairer, more inclusive communities. Talent and ambition should never be limited by background, and we are passionate about breaking down barriers so that every young person, regardless of circumstance, has the chance to realise their potential and thrive.
Welcoming Students
We welcome applications from students aged 14–17, from all backgrounds and experiences. Whether you are considering further education, an apprenticeship or simply curious about careers in business, professional services or accountancy, Future Ready offers a supportive environment to learn, explore and grow. Our placements are open to everyone and designed to reflect the diversity of the communities we serve.
By opening our doors, we are not just offering a glimpse into professional life, we are investing in the potential of the next generation. Future Ready is about more than work experience; it’s about breaking down barriers, building confidence and helping young people see what’s possible for their future.
