Manchester Elevate Graduation✨

Our final session with the first Manchester Elevate cohort was nothing short of incredible. Watching these young people grow over the past six months - from the very first session to their graduation - was truly inspiring. Their dedication, personal development, and confidence left us all filled with pride.

We wrapped up the programme with a celebration filled with energy, reflection, and excitement for the future. The day featured:

• Insights and advice from HR professionals

• Speed interviewing sessions to build real-world confidence

• Live feedback workshops to support growth

Seeing students collect their certificates was a proud and emotional moment. It marked not just the end of a journey - but the beginning of new ones. While it was bittersweet to say goodbye, we’re so proud of every participant and can’t wait to see where their paths lead next.

We’re already preparing for the next Manchester cohort this September - and we’re aiming to make it even bigger and better! If you're interested in getting involved, partnering, or supporting the next wave of talent, we’d love to hear from you.

A heartfelt thank you to all the mentors, speakers, partners, and supporters who made this programme possible. Your time, guidance, and belief in these young people created something truly special.
