New research, 'Bucking the Trend', explores why young men from economically disadvantaged backgrounds in the Midlands and North West choose higher education when so many of their peers don't.

The Mentoring Project was a bespoke activity created for Paulet High School and Sixth Form in Burton. The project involved Y12 students mentoring Y8s within the school about higher education.

The Fast Trackers project will enable 140 young people from across Staffordshire, Cheshire, Greater Manchester and Lancashire who are studying STEM subjects, to visit employers and educational institutions to help inspire their education at a higher level.

Working in collaboration with Stoke-on-Trent City Council on a public health issue, Higher Horizons+ inspire learners and their parents to consider higher education.

The 'Fast Trackers' project, delivered in collaboration with Greater Manchester Higher, FutureU, Network Rail and Mott MacDonald, has been awarded 'Graduate Initiative of the Year' at the Construction News Talent Awards 2018.
