The Experience Programme

Our mission is to give all young people access to the top. By connecting our national network of schools with industry leading employers, we open young people’s eyes to the possibilities ahead of them.

Our programme is run through a simple, safe-guarded portal, giving students access to opportunities, schools an easy way to manage their work experience and employers the chance to diversify their early talent pipelines and meet their social mobility goals.
