All about it

We want to inspire young people about practical and vocational careers

The aim of Making the Games is to inspire young people to think differently about practical and vocational careers, and to show them there are many paths to success.

By following a handful of professionals who are passionate, ambitious and successful, but also very practical; we hope to change perceptions and raise the stature of practical and vocational learning in the UK.
