Aim A Little Higher
Programmes

After years of delivering speeches across the UK, we received requests for longer-term solutions, after speaking with clients across the UK in both Education and business, we developed our selection of programmes.

Our programmes are an opportunity for long-term impact and change amongst students. We cover fundamental areas of personal development such as financial literacy, communication skills, resilience, studying as well as business and Entrepreneurship. Our programmes will raise student aspirations and help prepare them for the real world.

Main Aims

Raising Aspirations & Attainment

Our programmes are built to help students realise their aspirations and improve their attainment. We aim to stimulate thinking and discussion through our work to help students understand what is possible for them, how to achieve success, and to understand the importance of where they are right now in school and the impact it will have on their future.

Self-Awareness & Vision

Students’ aspirations start with how they see themselves now and creating their vision for the future. We help students to identify their positive traits & ability to communicate these. We then help them to create an exciting vision of the future to give them a reason to work hard now.

Upskill & Real World Preparation

Our programmes are there to upskill students across a range of different topics that help fill some of the gaps in the curriculum. Helping to re-engage and motivate coasting students, and truly preparing students for the real world.
