Our mission
To improve social mobility
By helping underrepresented young people, who may lack a professional network, to gain valuable insights into the world of professional work.
Our vision
To bridge the gap between education and the professional world
By harnessing the power of collective knowledge and shared career experiences, helping young people make informed career choices.
The challenge in the social mobility pay gap
Even though lots of much needed work has gone on to improve social mobility and widen participation, a huge gap still remains when comparing the annual salary of the Most Advantaged vs Most Disadvantaged graduate cohorts.
10 years after graduation the pay gap is a whopping 25%
