What is a Young Professional Provider?
A Young Professional Provider is an organisation that embeds the Young Professional Programme throughout its CEIAG delivery.
Becoming a Young Professional Provider is free, with no hidden costs attached.
Individual teachers, careers leaders and CEIAG professionals are welcome to use all our free resources – but Young Professional Providers have the added benefit of group management support, CEIAG best practice / networking, and more.

Becoming a Young Professional Provider is free to any organisation.
We simply ask Providers to promote our annual Youth Voice Census survey, which takes a temperature check of how UK students and learners feel about their future career options. These activities benefit your organisation by supporting the analysis and delivery of improved free CEIAG for all young learners in the UK – not only in your own place of education, but at a national level.
Young Professional Provider Benefits
As a teacher, careers leader or CEIAG Professional you are entirely welcome to use all our Young Professional resources with your students and learners on an individual basis. However, we appreciate that you have finite resources of time and energy!
Young Professional Providers benefit from the use of a Group Management System which allows for cohort registration, monitoring and evaluation.
In addition to negating their workload with our Group Registration and Group Management services, Young Professional Providers can also:
- Publicly recognise their institution as a Young Professional Provider
- Access a Provider only forum – an optional quarterly webinar where we will share updates, discuss best practice and create a Provider networking space
- Access additional resources, information and support including lesson plans and CPD
- Additional opportunities to connect with our employer and policy work
