About us
The students of the south west have a huge amount of potential; we want to help them to understand routes into apprenticeships, higher education and high-quality jobs by running programmes that draw together the region's collective capacity to support young people.
Improvement in self confidence is consistently improved across all our programmes
Overview
We are a consortium of seven schools and two universities. We work through schools to respond to the specific needs of young people, parents/carers and schools in the area; from learning maths skills for life, to taking part in inspirational experiences.
Collaborations
As well as delivering programmes and activities, we work strategically across the city. We convene partnerships to tackle ward inequalities, facilitate closer collaboration between schools, employers, funders, and FE and HE institutions, and help decision-makers understand the real barriers faced by young people in challenging circumstances.

To achieve their potential, all young people require opportunities to develop life skills, self-belief and comprehensive knowledge about accessing apprenticeships, higher education or better jobs. With your help, we can ensure that every young person receives these opportunities.
