Speakers for Schools

A network of today’s most influential figures across business, arts, politics and more donating their time and opening up their businesses for ambition-fuelling experiences.

Set up by Robert Peston, Speakers for Schools is a charity that helps state schools access the top opportunities for their young people through inspiring school talks and eye-opening work experience placements, entirely free of charge. 

Access to the top opportunities is created for state school students 3 ways:

> School talks from today’s leaders that broaden horizons

> Work experience at top organisations that build skills and pathways

> A networked hub of resources that keeps our schools connected to the best opportunities
