Wiseup is proud to announce the continuation of its partnership with LondonEnergy for another year of the transformative Pathfinder Programme. LondonEnergy is a resource and waste management company serving North London that creates power from household waste unsuitable for recycling. Their innovative solutions to waste management save tonnes of waste from ending up in landfill, whilst generating new power to serve over 2,000,000 people in the community every year.

On 5th April, Wiseup Networks proudly hosted our highly anticipated Talent of Tomorrow event at Altrincham Football Club. This gathering brought together businesses and education providers in the hospitality lounge for a day filled with engaging discussions, networking, and of course, football.

Wiseup is delighted to unveil an exciting new partnership with NES Fircroft, an Altrincham head quartered recruitment firm with over 80 office locations in 45 countries around the globe. As one of the leading energy recruitment firms globally, NES Fircroft is strengthening its existing ESG agenda by looking towards the next generation of talent on their collaboration on the Pathfinder Programme. This initiative will support students at Wellington School, and is designed to bridge the gap between education and employment, whilst helping the students build employability skills, confidence and experience in a real-world environment.

Wiseup is very excited to announce the expansion of our programmes into our hometown of Greater Manchester, with the launch of our Pathfinder Programme with Add People! A local Altrincham based company, Add People is a dynamic advertising agency with an emphasis on their culture and staff. We’re thrilled to partner with one of the area’s top employers on a programme that champions social mobility for students. Read on to learn more about our brand new partnership.

In a world of “it’s not what you know, it’s who you know” we’re dedicated to changing how young people access work experience thanks to our fantastic new partner – With Intelligence. With the help of the volunteer mentors from With Intelligence, 13 students from Harris Academy Bermondsey are set to be welcomed onto the Pathfinder Programme. The Pathfinder Programme seeks to dismantle barriers into the workplace whilst championing cultural capital. This is done through combining 1-2-1 mentoring, with the mentors who have been trained up, ahead of a work experience opportunity at their offices.

Wiseup is thrilled to announce an exciting new partnership with Asset Management Technology firm – WSD! We will be partnering with WSD for their very own Pathfinder Programme – a mentoring and work placement scheme designed to give students from Harris Academy Bermondsey real world experiences in the workplace.
