The Social Mobility Foundation’s response to the Employment Data Lab’s analysis of its Aspiring Professionals Programme (APP).
The Employment Data Lab is a service provided by a team of analysts at the Department for Work and Pensions. The Data Lab provides group-level benefits and employment information to organisations who have worked with people to help them into employment. The purpose is to provide these organisations with information to help them understand the impact of their programmes.
The APP, delivered by the Social Mobility Foundation, supports students from low socio-economic backgrounds across the UK in Year 12, lower sixth or S5 in Scotland, through university and into their first graduate job. The APP aims to help students get into top universities, such as Russell Group universities. The programme also aims to help participants secure high quality graduate jobs and improve labour market outcomes, such as earnings.
