Reply collaborates with the charity organization upReach in the United Kingdom, an organization dedicated to creating opportunities for graduates from disadvantaged backgrounds to access and maintain high-level job positions. This partnership reflects Reply's commitment to promoting the importance of continuous education as an essential element for professional success.
In the academic year 2022-2023, Reply has engaged in various initiatives with upReach. Twelve of our employees have been designated as mentors and have been matched with upReach associates, offering support on a wide range of topics related to their educational journey. Additionally, eight of our senior employees have joined upReach's Social Mobility Network, aiming to provide valuable contacts, career advice, and professional guidance, along with resume writing tips and interview simulations.
Our collaboration does not end here. Reply will continue to support upReach by hosting in-person 'Insight Day' events and participating in the Tech500 bootcamp in 2023. This initiative aims to create a new personalized support program for 500 graduates from disadvantaged backgrounds.
