    Leicester and Leicestershire Careers Hub recently highlighted the efforts of Samm Stanley, KS4 Futures Lead and Business Studies Teacher at John Ferneley College, in preparing her students for the future by partnering with leading employers for an innovative Experiences of the Workplace Project: Unbox Your Future.
