We started Bright Network to solve the disconnect between talent and opportunity.

Today, our career engagement platform of 800,000 members, our events and our award-winning global online Internship Experience UK, are at the heart of this unique careers community. 

Every year, over 12 million pieces of careers content are consumed by our network. In the past year alone, we have delivered over one million hours of learning online. We have matched thousands of members to internships and graduate roles at leading companies.

"It's amazing how much can happen in two years. From attending Bright Network's Women in Leadership event as an undergraduate, to speaking at it two year's later as a graduate employee of Deloitte."

Uniting the next generation in tech

Since launching the Technology Academy in 2021, we have been creating an inclusive and supportive community of high-potential tech talent.

35% of our female graduates studying STEM and 35% of those state-educated worry that the technology sector lacks diversity and inclusion. 

By identifying and supporting our members early, we are working to break down barriers, showing how with the right opportunities and technical training change in the technology sector is possible.
