About The Classroom to Boardroom Foundation

The Classroom to Boardroom Foundation works directly with students, schools, and businesses to overcome career barriers that are very often related to economic disadvantage.

Our programmes are developed with a student's potential and career capability front-of-mind. We support secondary and post-16 students, who are at a key inflection point in their lives - typically when they first seriously consider their options for future careers. In partnership with our extensive school network we run skills workshops, work experience placements and apprenticeship programmes. In doing so, we support students to develop their employability skills and connect our students and alumni to our global network of clients.

Our vision at the Foundation is that we will contribute to a future where someone’s economic situation while growing up does not hold them back from achieving professional and personal success. We’re on a mission to support students in accessing an equal start to achieving a career-positive future. Watching the Foundation grow and have a positive impact on students has been an exciting journey, and we feel privileged to work with such driven and high-potential students, school leaders, and a passionate group of partnering firms.
