What is a Career Academy?

Career Academies UK leads and supports a movement of over 1000 employers and over 120 schools and colleges, working together to raise the aspirations of 16-19 year olds.

Career Academies UK have been building bridges between the classroom and the boardroom since 2002.  Our Career Academy model is revolutionising partnerships between employers and teachers, transforming lives along the way.  We recognised the potential in students from all backgrounds, and help them to take their first steps into the world of work.

Independently recognised for brilliant business and education brokerage, Career Academies UK is the first national organisation to receive the Award for Education Business Excellence.  Award assessors, the Institute for Education Business Excellence, say of us:

"Career Academies UK is clearly a strong organisation: well lead and managed, effective, efficient and offering very good value for money to those who invest in it. It is valued by stakeholders both for the quality of its delivery, the professionalism of its staff and the creativity of its approach, clearly making a positive difference to the education and employment agendas."
