Supporting Schools & Learners

Supporting Schools & Learners

At KX Recruit, we work closely with schools, colleges, and community groups across Camden and Islington to help young people prepare for the world of work. Our programmes connect education with real employers, giving learners meaningful exposure to careers, skills, and pathways into employment.

We support schools, colleges, and other types of cohorts, and all opportunities listed below are also available to NEETs (young people not currently in education, employment, or training).
