We love to keep our supporters up to date with our latest news and campaigns.
Year-long partnership to get young people facing disadvantage more confident about the world of work.
Our mentoring programme provides the young people we work with the opportunity to receive mentoring from volunteers, who provide support and act as positive role models. Ebenezer, now a first-year degree apprentice at a financial services company, writes about his experience of the IntoUniversity Corporate Mentoring programme and the support he received from his mentor, Tom.
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. We spoke to two former IntoUniversity students who took part in the programme about the little moments from the programme that affected their career pathways.
Eilis O’Donnell, Director of Programmes and Delivery, describes how IntoUniversity’s programmes facilitate the little moments which lead to a big impact.
Partnership with Accenture provides young people in Glasgow and Edinburgh the chance to develop their business skills in a corporate environment.
Young people in Leicester will have a greater chance of realising their ambitions thanks to a new education centre in the city.
IntoUniversity launched its new centre in Kirkby alongside partners the University of Liverpool, LFC Foundation, Everton in the Community and the Steve Morgan Foundation, in an event attended by local community represesentatives, supporters, young people and their families.
An integral part of our partnership with the Universities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, Community Liaison Officers, Tom and Niamh reflect on their roles, how their efforts enrich IntoUniversity’s offering for its young people and how the partnership has grown in the three years since its inception.
Many of our mentors choose to volunteer with us because they want to support young people to develop their skills, but they often end up getting just as much out of the Mentoring programme as our young people do.
