The Social Mobility Foundation

Our core objective is to provide a range of supports for bright, less privileged A Level students to enable them to realise their potential, by progressing to good universities and into top professions and businesses.   We identify these students in Year 12, and provide them with internships in the career of their choice, and can match them with an e-mentor already in that profession.  In addition, we provide a programme of advice to support them through the university application process.
