Deloney’s story
Deloney first worked with our North Kensington centre while at Primary school. Eleven years later, he is completing an apprenticeship with the East Midlands Ambulance Service and now volunteers with IntoUniversity, supporting younger students with their schoolwork.

“IntoUniversity has always been a helping hand. When I was younger I didn’t know what I wanted to do in terms of a career path or what subject I wanted to study. There were always people from different career backgrounds that attended the centre as part of Academic Support or other IntoUniversity programmes, so I found out what they did to gauge what I wanted to do
Growing up, I attended a number of IntoUniversity programmes, such as Academic Support, Carnival Arts, one-to-one Personal Statement Support and Primary and Secondary FOCUS. All these programmes have presented me with the opportunity to be open-minded and develop the skills and knowledge I needed to figure out what I wanted to do in the future.
Me and my Corporate Mentor spoke about a range of things and he motivated me to explore alternative options to get to my career path. IntoUniversity motivated me to think about my interests and moulded me to think about my career path through all the IntoUniversity programmes that I have been enrolled on, and through speaking to staff and volunteers.”
