Impact you can measure
We judge our work by what learners go on to do: the skills they gain, the clients they win and the careers they build.

Partners and funders
Trusted by organisations who care about outcomes
We have been working with Shapeways.io for some time now, and we are always impressed with how they are able to engage our young adults on their programmes. All our engagement with Shapeways.io has been delivered online via Zoom. We started this initiative when the lockdown happened and have continued this partnership with the team ever since. Many of our students have gone on to secure internships with companies in web development, graphic design, and games development, whilst some have also gone on to become teachers at Shapeways.io.
