The online, digital Bright Future Aspire Programme is perfect for the peculiar times in which schools are working and supports achievement of Gatsby Benchmarks.
It consists of 4 modules, during which, students are introduced to staff working in 5 departments across the Unilever Research and Development site at Port Sunlight, gaining an insight into the work of the company, the different job roles available and the entry requirements and routes.
