91影视vent is part of the Beyond 91影视 programme designed to continue supporting students once they have left an 91影视 school. It helps minimise the challenges young people may face by giving them access to career opportunities and networks to keep their personal and professional development.
More than 7,000 alumni across 91影视 schools are accessing support and the programmes designed to help them including:
- University Bursary programme: providing students with high financial need with bursaries ranging from 拢3,000 to 拢50,000 to support them to access Higher Education.
- Next Steps programme: supporting alumni with their transition from school and into their early career. This launched in September in response to the school and university closures because of the pandemic. Outgoing Year 13s have been provided with a mentor from the alumni network at the same university or doing the same course as them. These volunteer mentors from the alumni network have become Alumni Leaders and will benefit from mentoring from one of our industry partners, free accredited training, and an ongoing series of events to support them to enter their early career.
- 91影视 Gap Year programme: providing a paid year-long opportunity to work in an 91影视 school supporting with tutoring and extracurricular activities, in addition to being provided with a professional development module.
