About Orbit

The UK’s only accelerator for 16-19 year old students. Struggling to figure out where life will take you? Take life into your own hands.

12 months of expert support to build a business or secure a part-time job in an industry of tomorrow.

Orbit Description

Orbit is a Social Enterprise, which aims to build world class entrepreneurial skills in organisations and schools around the UK.

With an attitude that flies in the face of corporate etiquette, Orbit hosts two programmes with the backing of partners RBS & The Princes Trust.

The first programme, 'entrepreneur', sees entrepreneurs mentor teenage participants through the highs and lows of launching a business. Each teenager we work with launches real, legally established businesses, and we offer all the support they need to grow and sustain themselves.

Our second programme, 'intrapreneur', sees industry experts mentor our teenage cohort to 'hustle themselves' into a job within a desired industry. Once they secure their desired job, we provide all the training needed to help them become entrepreneurial within their organisation.

Orbit has connections with some of the UK's leading business figures, and frequently hosts 'life story' events with a collection of these incredible speakers.

Orbit has helped me develop life skills like public speaking and has also helped me grow as a person as well as grow my business through excellent mentors and top class advice.

Orbit completely changed the way I think, gave me the skills and confidence to pursue my own business and allowed me to grow as an entrepreneur and person. I'm able to make money from doing something that I love, which Orbit helped me to realise.
