About Us
We drive equality, inclusion and increased social mobility
Who we are
The School Outreach Company is the result of several leading organisations joining forces and was built with the simple aim of transforming the way school outreach is delivered.
With a broad portfolio of services coupled with experience spanning back decades, we are now the market leaders both in terms of our reach but also in the variety and array of services we provide.
We align hiring organisations, schools and students for mutual benefit, making immediate and positive effects for local communities and the people within them.
Our mission
To maximise the exposure and visibility of job opportunities for all school students across the UK, acting as a conduit between employers and potential employees and in so doing, develop fully inclusive and diverse talent pipelines.
Our vision
To transform the methods and effectiveness of school outreach programmes that not only create heightened visibility but equip and prepare candidates with the necessary skills and awareness to transition into employment.
“For the academic establishments we work with and specifically the students within them, we instil a confidence, an awareness and a capability to help students successfully transition from education into employment.”

An Evolving Market
The themes of social mobility, diversity and inclusion are increasingly getting more traction within organisations. For companies that are passionate about making step-changes, tangible actions are now needed.
We can evidence that through a targeted and bespoke outreach programme, where we provide the support, training and encouragement both up to but throughout the application process, we are able to instill a confidence, an awareness and a capability to help students successfully transition from education into the daunting an often unknown reality of a business environment. By working with all students but specifically those from under-privileged backgrounds, we drive equality, inclusion and increased social mobility.
What We Do
Research highlights an alarming lack of resource and supporting information for school leavers considering their employment opportunities. Rather than relying purely on remote and often impersonal online engagement, we are able to deliver content by person, in person on either a local, regional or national level.
We deliver carefully blended programmes that drive brand awareness and the promotion of local employment opportunities on one hand, with a bespoke and often client-centric provision of employability and skill workshops on the other, positively contributing to their corporate and social responsibility objectives. Working collaboratively with our clients, we are able to map and segment data allowing our clients to target communities with pinpoint accuracy adjusting the level of provision and support provided.
