I’m a digital student at Teesside University, and through the Purpose Lab Student Ambassador Scheme, I’ve had the opportunity to join powerful conversations about how employers can support inclusion and create real career access.

My experience as a student ambassador for the Purpose Coalition has truly reshaped how I view the relationship between students and the professional world.

I’ve really enjoyed being a student ambassador with the Purpose Coalition. It’s given me the chance to be part of conversations that aim to shape a more inclusive future by prioritising equal opportunity and access for everyone in the workspace.

Tech careers in the NHS; I didn’t believe it—until Purpose Lab made it real for me!

A career supporting one of the biggest mental health trusts in the country was the focus of the latest session to bring together Purpose Lab Ambassadors with Purpose Coalition partners to bridge the divide between education and work.

As a Purpose Coalition Student Ambassador, I’ve had the chance to bridge my academic studies with real-world business challenges and it’s been nothing short of transformative.

The session, led by Clare Beynon, Talent Acquisition Marketing Manager, and Louise Taylor, Talent Acquisition Marketing Specialist for the Northeast, examined how Enterprise Mobility breaks down barriers – some real, some perceived – at universities across the country.

In an era where organisations are expected to do more than generate profit, the Purpose Lab offers a powerful framework for businesses, universities, and colleges to collaborate on creating real-world social impact.

Our Purpose Lab student ambassadors recently heard directly from the NHS Trust ranked the top Trust in England in 2024 about the opportunities it offers.
