Who we are
Career Accelerator have worked with 30 schools to date, 20 businesses and 10 universities across England.
Our Purpose and Values
We believe all young people deserve to achieve their career ambitions, and that the professional world benefits from a more diverse workforce. Yet, the UK workforce is not as diverse as the UK population.
We match diverse young people with like-minded professional role models for mentoring, so the young people can see their professional value and develop vital career skills.
We show them what a career in a leading company is really like, so they can imagine themselves there. We connect them to a network of other ambitious young people, so they can learn from others taking first career strides.
We also work with top companies to ensure they create inclusive environments these diverse young people want to be part of.
OUR VISION
All young people have the knowledge, skills, experience and network to pursue and achieve their career potential in leading companies, regardless of their backgrounds.
OUR MISSION
To inspire diverse young people to imagine themselves in a leading company, and support them to realise their career aspirations.
