A group of our students recently spent the day at the KPMG offices in Manchester. They all successfully applied through @getuptree https://uptree.co/ - a professional networking company for young people. During their visit, students took part in networking with KPMG professionals and found out more about the different pathways into the professional services and technology industry. They also took part in a real-workplace project session and heard about the KPMG apprenticeship programme.

We recently welcomed the lovely Sophie from The Social Mobility Foundation (SMF) to the college. The SMF is a charity that makes a practical improvement in social mobility for young people by providing opportunities and a network of professionals that students wouldn’t normally be able to easily access. Y13 student, Sam is currently part of the programme and through their support he has secured an internship at global law firm Linklaters Graduates UK.

Thanks to Sam and Sophie for talking to students about the opportunities available!
