Since the inception of futures Upfront in the early 2020s, we have been involved in many projects. We deliver large state-wide initiatives on behalf of organisations and we run small one-off workshops for community organisations. We work alongside peers with disability and we present research to CEOs.
In the process we often develop loads of resources, incl. training and learning manuals, on-line self-paced workbooks, loads of videos and more. Some of those resources can be found here.
