We are Ductu: formed to enable socially responsible employers, to easily and quickly interact and influence disadvantaged, neurodivergent and disabled students in all corners of the UK.

For over 10 years, Ductu has brought big-brand employers into the education sector.

We arrange face-to-face, meaningful experiences of the workplace for SEND and disadvantaged students – supported by national employers.

Our mission is to champion change.

Our goal is to simplify the process of connecting schools to national employers. We actively seek to challenge stereotypical thinking and raise aspirations – especially for the most disadvantaged pupils.

We believe in a level playing field for all.

In Key Stage 3 and older, we focus very specifically on helping S.E.N.D students interact with employers in the workplace.

We believe every S.E.N.D or disadvantaged student should be able to participate in face-to-face, meaningful, first-hand experiences of the workplace every year from the age of 11.

What’s more, we do all of the cold calling and almost all of the admin for you!

S.E.N.D

Ductu S.E.N.D. helps students from disadvantaged backgrounds or with disabilities to interact with employers taking part in work experience, workplace visits and in-school activities.

Testimonials

I am writing to extend our heartfelt thanks for the wonderful trip to Costco earlier today. This experience provided our students with invaluable insights into the workings of a large retail environment and helped them understand the range of roles and responsibilities that contribute to the success of such a business.

Thomas Knyvett College, Your Content Goes Here

It was an excellent experience for the learners and staff, well-planned, engaging and very professional, giving a great insight into potential opportunities in the construction, warehousing, maintenance and logistic industries.

Kite College

The visit helped students build key skills like listening, problem-solving, adapting, teamwork and speaking, all while gaining real-life experience to support their independence and future employment. A wonderful opportunity for young people with additional needs — and they’re already excited for the next visit!

The Shrubberies School

Our neurodiverse pupils can often find trips difficult and struggle to maintain focus. We were made to feel so welcome, the place was relaxed and the staff and activities were engaging. We had a great time!

Woodeaton Manor

One standout experience was an incredible placement at Browns Brasserie & Bar, Birmingham – supported by Ductu Portal. Students had the opportunity to meet the manager, head chef and head bar-tender and even got hands-on creating their own mocktails and dessert plates.
