Ané is off to Cambridge! 🎓 And her message made our day!! 😄 “I am certain that everything your mentoring programme taught me will continue to help me to achieve my goals.” 🎯 This message landed in Dale's inbox a few days ago. It was from Ané Human, a student at Stantonbury School, who took part in our mentoring programme last year and was applying for both Degree Apprenticeships and University.

We are really pleased to again be running Project 13 – 🎓 Degree Apprenticeship Application Sessions, in 9 state schools across Bedfordshire this Autumn. The workshops are fully funded for the schools by Aspire Higher, helping more students understand that there are multiple routes into higher-level careers.

Dale thinks something is changing in the way parents at independent schools are thinking about life after 6th Form...... Over the last 12 months, he has been invited into a growing number of independent schools to talk specifically to parents about Degree Apprenticeships.....helping them understand that university isn't the only route to a successful career.
