New Futures

We were tasked with creating 4 dynamic case study films about Learning and Work Institute's flagship programme, New Futures, which supported workers who were looking to change career and reskill as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic through four place-based pilots. The work was funded by the Covid-19 Support Fund.
