Today’s school leavers face a plethora of choices. Not every school has the resources to help each student find the way to their dream career.
Uptree offers the free careers programme your students need. We can help them meet leading employers, feel inspired about their career paths, find apprenticeships and get started on the road to professional success.
Our school partnerships focus primarily on students aged 16-19 to support them as they face these choices, while our educational resources are also beneficial for our growing alumni network and under-16 educators.

I’ve had really brilliant feedback from my students about all the events. I actually noticed it was one of our alumni talking about his experience as a Deloitte apprentice at one of the events, which was brilliant!
