About Uptree

We’re on a mission to see employers everywhere offer unique experiences of work to demystify careers and help students transition from education to employment.

Uptree was founded to put an end to inequality of opportunity, where no student is left behind on their journey from education to employment, underpinned by a successful commercial model. Over the last decade we have scaled the business and are ambitious for and excited by the opportunity for continued growth and commercial success.

We have a nationwide reach of over 300,000 students across 700+ schools and partner with some of the world’s most recognised brands, including Linklaters, Arm, and Coca-Cola.

Our programmes are designed to address inequities in social mobility, ensuring that underrepresented groups, including students eligible for free school meals (27%), female students (53%), and students from minority ethnic backgrounds (33%), gain the confidence, skills, and networks needed to succeed in their careers.

By empowering students with impactful experiences of work and helping employers meet their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) goals, Uptree is creating a sustainable talent pipeline and advancing social mobility.
