As an individual, I pledge to:

1. Volunteer!

Personally help students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds on their career journey.

We will be in touch with opportunities, including:

✔️ Mentoring a school-age student, guiding them on their next steps

✔️ Check a student’s CV

✔️ Deliver a telephone mock interview

✔️ Provide support ahead of an assessment centre/application

✔️ Phone a student to give career advice

As an employer, we pledge to:

1. Collect data!

Collecting socioeconomic background data is vital to improving social mobility.

2. Enter the Social Mobility Index!

The index is a rigorous assessment of the steps being taken to ensure talent from all social backgrounds can get 'in' and 'on' in organisations.

3. Support Volunteering!

Support your staff to personally help students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds on their career journey.

Take the Pledge!
