Be part of something big
Help your students move forward
Being ready for the world of work takes more than qualifications. Students need the skills, confidence and experience to take their next step.
Sainsbury's KickStarter Explore gives students the opportunity to build all three.
Through a programme designed around different stages of their education, students can discover careers, develop essential employability skills and experience the world of work first-hand. By getting involved, you can give your students the chance to be part of the Sainsbury's KickStarter Explore, joining 5,000 young people gaining valuable experiences and building the skills to help them move forward.
An opportunity for every stage.
Whether your students are starting to explore their options, preparing their next step or getting ready to enter the workplace, there's a Sainsbury's KickStarter Explore experience designed for them.
