WHO
ARE CLASS CAREERS?
We’re a social enterprise that connects young talent with big employers across the country.
Quick Quiz: What is a social enterprise? Social enterprises trade to tackle social problems, improve communities, people's life chances, or the environment. They make their money from selling goods and services in the open market, but they reinvest their profits back into the business or the local community.
Our aim is to end inequality in careers education.

3. WHAT
DOES THAT MEAN?
It’s only fair that everyone – no matter where you live, or where you go to school - gets the same, EQUAL, HONEST and FAIR advice no matter what.
More information: Every school is different Statistics show that the farther away from big cities (i.e. London, Leeds, Birmingham) your school is located, the less engagement you have with employers. That means, less employer visits, less career-focused open days, less opportunities for work experience. We didn’t think that was fair, and set about to change it.
