Career Academies UK doesn't run any Career Academies. Our affiliated schools and colleges do. The Career Academy model (represented below) ensures that there is a consistent approach to Career Academies across the UK. Yet, the model is deliberately flexible enough to enable schools and colleges to respond to the particular needs of their local community.
“Being part of the Career Academy programme has been an amazing, life changing experience. I had a mentor from the Bank of England and did my placement at Citigroup. It’s pushed me beyond what I thought were my capabilities and given me far more choice about my future. I have offers to go to university but I’m also considering going directly into employment using some of the contacts I made through the Career Academy.” [Abdul]
