How it Works
1 - Becoming a Champion
Sign up to become a Young Careers Champion. There is no cost involved.
Our Engagement Managers will provide you with all the information you need to get started.
2 - Understanding Needs
We will partner you up with our associated London schools. Each one has undergone a Needs Analysis to identify gaps in their careers offer.
Our Engagement Managers will also explore your reasons for getting involved, your objectives and available resources.
3 - Delivering Activities
Delivering fun and informative activities to students is at the heart of what we do.
This is your chance to share information about what working in your organisation or sector involves, how students can plan a pathway to a career with you and help give them the best chance of achieving their goals and ambitions.
The range of activities you can contribute to includes:
- Careers Fairs
- Careers Presentations

- Workplace Trips
- CV and Interview Support
- Inspiring Talks

4 - Networking and Sharing
Termly Networking Meetings bring together schools, employers and local stakeholders – including Greater London Authority and London Councils representation.
We share best practice and create opportunities for labour marketing information sharing, business networking improving education/employment relationships.
