Background

“The Foundry” is the flagship programme of D2S. It is a 10-week experiential programme designed around a business case challenge. Through a series of workshops, company visits and mentorships sessions, students will be able to expand their horizons and get a sense of the corporate world whilst unleashing their creativity, develop self confidence and business skills and nurture their entrepreneurial spirits. They may also build valuable relationships with their team mentors who might continue to provide support beyond the programme.

What we have

Briefing and soft skills sessions will be provided during after office hours throughout the 10-week programme to provide support and check in with mentors.

Why this is important

We aim to promote social mobility through being the illustrator and navigator for the alternative social ladder that we believe already exists. By being a part of this programme, you will help these secondary students gain the self confidence and exposure they need to become open to opportunities to upward social mobility.
