ACCA and unifrog, a school careers platform, have formed a key partnership to help promote the accountancy sector to UK 16 to 19 year-olds, and their teachers!
Unifrog’s reaches into 3,000+ schools and colleges in the UK, 1,000 international schools, and has over 2.2 million active students on the platform. As a start ACCA has produced an insider’s perspective video for the site helping students explore careers and compare opportunities.
An important part of the agreement sees ACCA looking to sponsor a school in a disadvantaged area with the package including linking up with the careers lead, engaging with students and delivering workshops.
Clive Jones, Head of Employer Business Development Relationships, ACCA UK, said: “The overarching aim of this partnership is to raise the profile of the profession, show how accountancy is open to all regardless of their background, and inspire new talent to join ACCA’s inclusive global community. As part of this collaboration, we’re really pleased to be launching Careers in Finance, an exciting online course which aims to dispel myths about accountancy and highlights the wide range of careers open to finance professionals.”
