Supported by DFES and the DTI, Young Foresight is a revolutionary project aimed at giving students direct experience in all the skills needed to create a successful product or services: from conceptualisation, to design, to adaptability in the market place.

Young Foresight is delivered regionally through local SETPOINTS. See Regions for more information.
