The National Careers Challenge will reach 50,000 young people this academic year in the UK as we pledge to #buildtheskills of students for UK employers!

The Inspirational Learning group is celebrating 10 years this year, and to mark the occasion we are pleased to announce some exciting changes to our flagship challenge!

What is it?

The National Careers Challenge is the UK’s largest careers and enterprise competition and provides students aged 11–15 with a real-life business challenge set by some real life businesses. All participating schools will win a place at the live finals at the ICC in Birmingham on 7th July 2022 – where they will battle it out to be crowned the WINNER! 

The Challenges

This years challenges have been set by some of the UK’s largest employers, and we’re really excited to bring to you: 

All challenges are mapped to GATSBY BENCHMARKS

Planning your day

Our school engagement team is on hand to discuss all your requirements for an innovative drop down careers and enterprise day. We have options for schools to deliver the activities themselves using our virtual platform or book our experienced facilitators to run the day for you! 

The great news is that we are committed to working with schools to ensure their careers and enterprise experience runs smoothly, and that students leave the sessions engaged, inspired and motivated!

A focus on careers

Our programmes are the start of an exciting journey for your students, encouraging the use of employability skills like creative thinking, problem solving, and teamwork. 

This year we are focused on the total career journey, and not just a solus enterprise day. Students will be required to build on these skills over their school lives and start thinking about their future. That’s why we are so pleased to announce that all schools taking part in The National Careers Challenge will also receive complimentary access to Launch Your Career – the UK’s fastest growing search and discovery careers platform.
