Our programmes

Wiseup Networks bridges the gap between education providers and businesses by giving sixth form and university students mentoring and work experience opportunities with our private sector partners.

Our aim is to help overstretched and underfunded careers teams at schools, colleges and universities who want to ensure their students secure mentoring and work experience.

Our programmes are designed to ensure young people from all walks of life gain insight into the world of work, regardless of their personal networks or circumstances. We’re transforming the world of mentoring in the UK with the Pathfinder Programme.

Who we work with

We strive to support students from year 12 through to university. It is our goal to make a tangible difference in the lives of the student participants at all stages in their early careers.

Our business partners sponsor our programmes, meaning education providers can benefit from our work to enhance student employability rates.
