Elevation Networks (EN) is a youth employment charity that aims to bridge the gap between under-represented groups and industries, helping young people to become more competitive in the labour market place. We aim to inspire, challenge, and positively influence a generation of young people into a belief system that challenges the impossible, overcomes barriers, and provides a gateway for aspirations to become tangible goals. We as a network believe that everyone’s dream is important……

 

Elevation Networks aims to:

• Provide an alternative route for young people and their career paths
• Adopt an inclusive approach to career information
• Reflect public opinion regarding current student related issues by conducting regular qualitative research
• Interact with employees from a range of departments within a company
• Offer first hand information of work-place or industry roles and responsibilities; as opposed to students reading generic script online or in publications.

The charitable objective of EN is to relieve unemployment for the public benefit in such ways as may be thought fit including, providing assistance to find employment in particular but not exclusively for students and graduates from minority ethnic backgrounds, women, and those affected by disability, poverty or social and economic circumstance. We also facilitate better preparation for and awareness of employment opportunities for young people, through our programmes and other relevant initiatives.

 

 

 

Our work at Elevation Networks is split into two main areas: Diversity & Inclusion and Education & Training.

 

Diversity and Inclusion:

The Student Leadership Development Programme (SLDP) is an exciting programme that oversees our diversity work for university students across the UK; improving their employability skills whilst they are still studying. The programme includes networking events, mentoring, internships, and a whole range of on campus skills based activities.

Training Programmes:

Elevate Your Future (EYF) Projects are designed to inform students about routes in to education and employment, with an emphasis on developing transferable skills in order to raise attainment as well as the young person’s career and educational aspirations.

By working in partnership with businesses and organisations from different industries the projects bridge the gap between school students, higher education and corporate industries. For more information please visit the Training Programmes part of our website
