Online Content by Wiseup Networks - Wiseup Networks is a family run social enterprise with a vision to change the way young people gain insight and access to the world of work. We partner with businesses to upskill their employees to become mentors for 16-18 year old students, preparing them to deliver 1-2-1 mentoring sessions in the lead up to life-changing work experience opportunities at the partner companies themselves.
The value of mentoring & work experience for young people is globally understood, but access to such opportunities can often come down to the connections an individual has. We believe, however, that the phrase "it's not what you know, it's who you know" is a principle of networking that can leave young people behind. This led us to create The Pathfinder Programme in 2022.
The Pathfinder Programme helps students from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds who feel disconnected from the world of work gain invaluable insight from supportive employers, whilst forming lasting professional networks. Students from these inner-city colleges, thus feel inspired to make informed decisions about their future careers, regardless of network or circumstances.
To achieve this, we train employees in partner companies to become effective mentors for students at this key point in their lives. Our goal is to dismantle the social barriers that so many young people face in the UK.
We are based within the Altrincham area WA15
Altrincham, Greater Manchester, North West England
