Who we work with
Four routes in. They overlap, and most partnerships use more than one.
Employers
Reach school-leavers, apprentices and students before the graduate milk round. Host an insight session, send speakers, or open your office for a visit.
Schools & colleges
Bring working professionals into the room. Sessions are built around the questions your students actually ask, not a generic careers talk.
Universities
Support widening-participation students through to a first role, with programming that runs alongside your own careers service.
Funders & CSR
Fund a defined programme and receive the figures in our published monthly impact report, with the method stated.
What you can commission
Defined formats, agreed scope, reported afterwards.
Half day · 20–60 attendees
Expert session
One of your people, in front of our community. In person or online, with photography and a written recap afterwards.
Half day · 20–40 students
Office insight visit
Students come to you. A tour, a panel, and direct conversation with your early-careers team.
Full day · 200–400 attendees
Summit partnership
Headline or supporting partner on a flagship Investate event. Our 2026 Plug Summit reached 400 attendees.
