FUTUREMP Programme

The FUTUREMP Programme seeks to give individuals that are interested in pursuing a career in National politics the chance to engage in a structured two-month course. We not only aim for diversity but also endeavour to increase the number and calibre of quality candidates who come from a broader range of experiences. 

 

 

 

The structure involves three parts:

• Masterclasses – delivered over three months by experts on topics relevant to understanding UK politics.

• MP Shadowing – with senior politicians, helping bring knowledge to life through practical experience, giving participants an insight into Parliamentary life and procedure.

• Coaching – provided to participants on a one-to-one basis during and after the programme

​

At the end of the programme, participants are encouraged to consider an application for the Candidates List. 

 

The Masterclasses will be delivered over the three-month programme:

• The Political Parties

​

MONTH TWO:

• Equipping you to become a Member of Parliament
