about push

Push are a not-for-profit organisation that supports school-leavers and students, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds. For nearly 30 years we have offered HEIs an irreverent and powerful way to support their widening participation and outreach initiatives. Our USP is that we use professional performers (comedians/actors/screenwriters) to help young people to make well exciting informed decisions about their futures and to develop their employability (skills, learning, social capital) to make it happen. Our sessions are followed up with free resources such as our monthly blogs, articles, student newsletter and Youtube channel.
We never ‘sell’ a specific HEI to students, as that's not what we’re about. Instead, we collaborate with HEIs as an independent and impartial third party to enhance your messages. Our sessions ensure that students are thoroughly informed about how varied their higher education path can be, and how the best place for them is the one that matches their specific needs the best.
We inspire students who would never have thought of higher education before to now consider it. We want the right people to go to the right institutions so that they're set on the path to personal and professional success, which every HE institution should want from their applicants (and non-applicants) too...so student satisfaction scores stay high and drop out rates stay low.
By combining your outreach or WP initiatives with Push, you’re also hugely helping schools meet their Ofsted and DfE statutory duty on providing impartial and independent careers education to students. By helping Push engage more students about higher education and proactive informed choices, you’re not only ticking your OFFA and OFS boxes, you’re helping a school tick theirs.
