A national quality mark for organisations delivering exceptional information, advice, and guidance (IAG). This recognition highlights the College’s commitment to helping students make informed choices and prepare for successful careers.
The Matrix Standard review praised USP College’s career-focused approach, which runs through every stage of the learner journey - from application and enrolment to progression. Services assessed included Careers, Admissions, Wellbeing, Student Engagement, and Foundation Learning, all working together to provide a wraparound support system.
USP College identifies their mission to ‘connect young people with great career pathways’. This focus strongly permeates every team and is clearly seen throughout the entire student journey.
Achieving Matrix accreditation reinforces USP College’s dedication to delivering high-quality guidance and support, ensuring students are not only prepared for their next step but for the future workplace. This milestone reflects the College’s vision to create Future Ready learners through innovative strategies, strong employer partnerships, and personalised support.
Planned destinations show an overwhelmingly positive impact, with 94% of learners progressing to positive outcomes such as higher or further education, apprenticeships, or employment.
Looking ahead, USP College is developing a Meta-Skills Framework to equip students with adaptability, emotional intelligence, and innovation - skills employers increasingly value. Combined with immersive technology and flexible learning models, this approach ensures every student has the tools to thrive in a rapidly changing job market.
