Somerset Careers Awards 2026 – Celebrating Somerset’s Future!

Thank you to our Headline Sponsor UCS College Group

UCS College Group is proud to sponsor the Somerset Careers Awards, which celebrate the remarkable individuals and partnerships across our county that are dedicated to building confident, work-ready young people.

The awards recognise the hard work of teachers, careers leaders, schools, and employers who play a crucial role in helping young people understand their options, elevate their aspirations, and take confident steps toward their futures.

At UCS College Group, supporting learners to become the best versions of themselves is at the heart of everything we do. We understand the impact of strong careers education and meaningful employer engagement. When students gain real insights into industry, hands-on experience, and the right support to plan their next steps, their confidence grows, and their aspirations are raised.

The Somerset Careers Awards highlight the invaluable mentoring, work placements, enterprise projects, and shared commitment that make these achievements possible, and we are delighted to sponsor these awards.

Entries are now closed. Thank you to everyone who has submitted an entry.

The Somerset Careers Awards return for another unforgettable celebration of the incredible work happening across our county to prepare young people for the workplace, raise aspirations, and ignite excitement about the career possibilities in Somerset and beyond.

This is your chance to shine a spotlight on the people, partnerships, and projects that are transforming futures. With 11 award categories, we’ll be recognising the achievements of educators, employers, and young people who go above and beyond to make a difference.
