Causeway Education has an application mentor working alongside students on the OSAR platform to help them discover strengths and submit applications.

Causeway Education is a charity that supports young people to overcome barriers to accessing higher education, apprenticeships and early careers. We exist to make sure progression is not determined by privilege. We want to ensure students get the support they deserve to explore options, make choices and produce outstanding applications. We do this in three ways: 1. Student workshops and mentoring We develop, model and evaluate innovative practice to share with the sector. 2. Expert training and consultancy We give teachers and outreach professionals the skills and confidence to make long-term, systemic change. 3. Practical resources We turn insights from research and practice into accessible tools, ensuring we can reach out to the young people and their supporters who need our help most. All our work is driven by our guiding values; • High quality: Our impact is greatest when the quality of our work is highest. • Practical: Take-up of our support is greatest when it’s easy to implement. • Collaborative: Our mission is shared by a vast range of individuals and organisations – through supporting each other we can reach more individuals with higher quality interventions. • Evidence-led: The best solutions build on the greatest accumulation of insights.
