Spark!

Who we are

We believe it is possible for every young person to be ready, equipped and able to enter the world of work, and there has never been a more important time for our services.

Working in partnership with schools and colleges, alongside a large and diverse range of employers and funders, we enhance young people’s employability skills, knowledge, and experience, so that they are better prepared for and able to effectively transition into the workplace, finding and keeping a job. We do this by enabling and supporting long-term relationships between local businesses and education to:

• create high quality work experience placements and internships
• broker inspiring careers mentoring relationships
• deliver a range of employability skills development opportunities
• support education to employment transitions

Born out of an Education Business Partnership, Spark! is now an independent charity, working across west London, and beyond, with diverse groups of young people and employers.

We are a motivated and passionate team, led by the desire to positively impact on the employment prospects and life chances of young people.

We endeavour to live our values of; empowerment, collaboration, reliability, quality, and learning, in our decision making and all that we do.
