Our thinking

Our model is based on creating permanent physical spaces in areas where our support can reach the highest number of young people in need. However, areas change. Andrew McWhirter, Assistant Head of Operations and Programme Delivery, explores the process of 're-feasibility', and how IntoUniversity uses this to ensure the ongoing effectiveness of each of our centres.

As we speed through September, let’s take a moment to pause and reflect on the brilliant school holiday programmes we ran throughout the summer.

Rachel Carr, our Chief Executive and Co-Founder, reflects on the little moments in a students' journey that are so essential on the longer road to success, as well as the little moments which have defined IntoUniversity's partnerships.

This summer, we will run our tenth annual Big City Bright Future programme, a three-week paid work experience programme, created especially to help school leavers who aspire to work within competitive industries.

Every day, across the IntoUniversity network, thousands of little moments occur. These little moments can make a world of difference to the young people we strive to support.

Rachel Carr, Chief Executive and Co-founder of IntoUniversity, explains how and why quality was made the heart of the IntoUniversity programme.
