Partnerships
WHO DO WE WORK WITH?
At The Bridge Academy because of financial support from UBS, we work with an enormous range of partners in addition to UBS.
The wealth of experience and opportunities that these organisations provide makes The Bridge Academy experience second to none for our students.

Partners include various colleges and universities, The Brilliant Club, The Brokerage, ELBA, Future First, the Careers Collaborative, Inspire!, Pathways Careers Training and Mentoring, Prospects, UBS and Unifrog.
