The ReachOut Level Up Experience connects businesses with university students from underrepresented communities. Together, we create positive change through our mentoring programmes.
- ReachOut works with partner universities to recruit student volunteer mentors (Level Uppers)
- University students volunteer weekly, helping change a local primary school child’s life whilst learning new skills and building their own character
- By completing a year of volunteering, students gain access to internships, events, work experience placements or even grad schemes at partner businesses
This year we have partnered with 6 different companies, including; Kroll, Pivot Power (part of the EDF group), Money Box, PSG Equity, Simkins LLP and Bupa.
The Level Up Experience Programme gives companies the opportunity to help students to understand their career options, gain work experience and develop their skills and confidence through our mentoring programme. This year Kroll offered two Level Uppers a year in industry placement. One of the successful applicants told us:
“This truly was a historic moment for me, and I am ever grateful to you for letting me in the Level Up programme last year! […] Thank you so very much, and I hope you know that you and ReachOut have potentially changed my life forever for the better”
This programme will help you reach your CSR and Diversity and Inclusion objectives. As a partner, we make it easy for you to Mentor a University student, host exclusive workshops and company insight days as well as offer employment opportunities to students from underrepresented backgrounds.
