Having worked with IntoUniversity for a number of years I can honestly say they have been an incredible charity partner for Deloitte Leeds and our 5 Million Futures programme. All IntoUniversity staff members have been a pleasure to work with and the charity have engaged with us at the most senior levels to ensure our partnership is as beneficial as possible for both parties. I would not hesitate to recommend working with IntoUniversity, they have been a great charity partner and their work is incredibly inspiring.Lewis Keating, Senior Manager, Deloitte UK
There are multiple ways for corporate partners to support IntoUniversity. The most impactful corporate-charity partnerships are multi-faceted and involve several layers of engagement.
IntoUniversity needs crucial financial support to provide our vital programmes of academic and pastoral support across the UK, allowing young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to achieve their full potential.
Diversity at a firm breeds creativity, innovation and economic growth, and is essential in modern society. This includes diversity of socioeconomic background.
We can work with you to increase the diversity of your talent pipeline by together supporting our students into careers at your firm. This will increase our students’ future success and at the same time improve diversity in your workplace.
The various ways in which we could work together in this space include your firm hosting internships for our students, for example through our Big City Bright Future programme, running insight events, or supporting our students into careers at your firm.
Corporate volunteers are integral to the IntoUniversity programme, providing crucial support and positive role models for our students, as well as invaluable experiences and opportunities. A variety of engagement opportunities are available for employees, which can fit around different work schedules and can take place at a number of convenient locations, including online.
