Pathfinder Programme

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.

For the third consecutive year, Wiseup has partnered with Kantar for London Intern 25, a programme that offers mentoring and work experience opportunities to 16-18 year olds. Growing year on year, Intern 25 welcomes over 50 students onto this year’s programme, with mentors from Kantar, IBM, Efficio, Hays, Chain IQ, Blackbullion, Kyndryl and Birlasoft volunteering their time to mentor students.

Over the last three years, Wiseup has proudly partnered with the Harris Federation, a multi-academy trust of over 50 primary and secondary schools around London. This collaboration has allowed us to work closely with several Harris academies, offering invaluable work experience and mentoring opportunities to their students through our Pathfinder Programmes.

Last month, ten 15-16 year old students from Leytonstone School had the chance to embark on a week-long work experience at LondonEnergy, offering them a glimpse into the professional world and a taste of the various career paths available.

“The programme was very useful in helping me make connections and building an understanding for what type of job I’m interested in getting in the future” – Max – mentee Generali, a global leader in the insurance industry recently took part in The Pathfinder Programme, an initiative designed to help students from Harris Academy Westminster in their early careers.

Last week marked a transformative experience for five bright minds from Harris Academy Westminster, as they embarked on the Pathfinder Programme, culminating in a work placement at Generali.
