Working together, we ensure target students can receive the right information at the right time. Our delivery is entirely impartial, and focusses on building soft-skills and knowledge of educational pathways through a programme of sustained interventions. From aspirational speakers to subject-tasters, career research to revision strategies – our activities provide individualised support when it matters most.

Students are identified as target and therefore eligible to work with us if they are medium to high attainers (i.e. able to attain 5 GCSEs A*- C or Grade 4+) and live in a postcode where HE participation is low. We utilise criteria outlined by the Office for Students (OfS), known as POLAR3 Q1 and Gaps Q1 & Q2. For more information on how we identify target students, please visit the OfS website.
To find out why we collect target student data, and how it informs the wider Uni Connect programme, please watch this short video.
Please note core offer availability is limited and bookings are selected on a fair case-by-case basis. To arrange a booking or find out more information please contact our team.
At three stages in the school journey we offer a dedicated careerpilot session, helping students recognise their transferable skills and personal experience. Using the website’s interactive skills map, students conduct self-led research into employability and career pathways.
Throughout the region, our team of outreach officers are available to deliver workshops, talks and presentations to suit your school’s needs.
We have compiled a host of resources detailing what activities we offer, postcards and guides for each age group/key stage, plus specific guides for parents and carers. All catagorised so you can find what you need easily
