Student Diversity Ambassador Programme

This programme will give students the opportunity to be heard and to feel a sense of belonging, by sharing their experiences and perspectives. But beyond that, they will be able to make a difference: by joining the programme, students will help shape educational products and services that will be on offer to students just like them in the future.

As well as helping to shape the future of education, participating students will benefit from several opportunities, including:

• Work experience, including product reviews, focus groups, and critical analysis, with Pearson that will help to build their CVs
• Developing soft skills (such as leadership, communication, and problem solving) and employability skills by working in a professional environment to prepare for their future beyond the classroom
• Receiving mentoring from our dedicated team
• Attending a Careers Fair to connect with professionals from a variety of businesses and industries.
  

Each year, students, between the ages of 14-17, who represent a diverse range of backgrounds will be able to enrol in the programme. These students will serve as ambassadors for their schools for one school year and will be representing their own views and the views of their peers.

The ambassadors will work together to provide feedback on their experiences of the education system as well as Pearson products and services, and how we can improve them so that they are more representative and inclusive for all students.

Student Ambassadors will meet with the Pearson team for a minimum of 3 sessions, involving feedback sessions, mentorship sessions, and guest speaker events.
