Sharing the city’s opportunities with state schools

State Talking works to raise the aspirations of young people in Manchester.

By pairing pupils with relatable role models we hope to boost their chances of establishing a rewarding career and encourage them to pursue greater opportunities.

So far, we’ve applied this approach to over 3,000 pupils in over 40 schools across Greater Manchester. Your experience could help to inspire even more.
