About Us
Our mission
Our mission at Pathway CTM is to inspire ambition, inform choices, and support every step of the journey for both students and employers. We believe every young person deserves the confidence and clarity to make informed career decisions, and every business deserves access to diverse, motivated talent.
Together, we’re breaking down barriers, creating opportunities, and shaping the workforce of tomorrow by empowering careers.
Our USP
What makes Pathway CTM different is our end-to-end approach. Through our mentoring system, engaging events, real-life career podcasts, and practical coaching, we don’t just inform, we prepare and support. We equip students with the skills, confidence, and knowledge they need to succeed, while giving employers access to motivated, well-prepared candidates.
This unique combination of preparation and connection ensures the right opportunities reach the right talent.
Our Story
Pathway CTM started with a simple idea: to help young people see their potential and step confidently into the world of work. What began as one talk in a school has grown into a nationwide programme connecting students with leading employers.
Today, we run events, workshops, and mentoring that give students the skills, confidence, and guidance to land real opportunities — all completely free. Alongside this, we help employers connect with motivated, diverse talent.
From one classroom to over half the schools and colleges in the UK, our mission remains the same: to inspire ambition, inform choices, and support every step of the journey.

I founded Pathway CTM to help young people believe in their potential. After returning to my old school to share my career journey, I saw the impact real-life stories could have and that inspired me to create a programme connecting students with skills, guidance, and employers. Today, Pathway CTM supports schools and students nationwide, giving every young person access to opportunities and confidence in their next steps.
