What is the London Careers Challenge?

Give young people a better experience of the world of work

Our London Careers Challenge makes it easier for businesses to give young people meaningful experience of the world of work.

Choose from a range of ready-to-use activities and deliver one to students at the Harris Federation - one of the largest education trusts in London.

Harris currently runs 55 primary and secondary academies, educating around 44,000–45,000 young people across London and Essex. Many of its academies are located in communities facing significant socio-economic disadvantage, making access to high-quality careers and workplace opportunities particularly important.

Wiseup provides everything you need to get involved, at no cost.

Express your interest by the end of the Autumn Term (December 2026).
