Undergraduate Partnerships Lead

Background

Where we start off in life often pins us down - almost like gravity. At Zero Gravity we will do whatever is digitally possible to reach and direct the UK’s brightest young talent to succeed, no matter their backgrounds.

It’s already started with our digital mentoring platform: current university undergraduates mentor the next generation of top talent via our web app. We currently have over 2,000 Year 13 students from low-income backgrounds being mentored on our digital platform by an undergraduate mentor who studies the same subject at the same university they want to go to. We have commercial partnerships with leading institutions across the public and private sector, and have scaled to become one of the UK's biggest social mobility organisations in a matter of months.

The connectivity continues so our undergraduate members can access the best graduate employment programmes. Ultimately, Zero Gravity will be the go-to personal development app in the pocket of every talented school student. And the essential place top universities and employers want to access, who now recognise the competitive advantage of recruiting from a diverse talent pool.

We have already been covered by a variety of media outlets, including BBC News, The Times, Daily

Mail, and Independent. Our 2019 pilot received a social impact award from the Prime Minister for social impact in education, and our Founder team have won a number of awards across education, entrepreneurship, social impact, and business growth.
