-
Already Doing It complements your existing careers program by giving students private, independent access to vetted university mentors.
-
We bridge the gap between 'Prospectus Marketing' and 'Campus Reality'—empowering students to make confident choices without adding a single hour to your staff's workload.
- Whether you are managing one school or a national Trust, we provide the scale and the data to ensure no student is left to guess about their future.
Student Insight Matters
National data shows that 52% of graduates wish they’d made different choices with hindsight.
That’s a massive gap between expectation and reality.
➟ Strategic Impact for Multi-Academy Trusts & Large Cohorts
Information Equity: Ensure every student across your Trust has access to a professional network, regardless of their background or location.
Centralised Education Intelligence: Receive our Strategic Impact & Education Intelligence Report, identifying transition risks (e.g., student finance anxiety) across your entire estate.
Turnkey Compliance: A “Plug-and-Play” solution for Gatsby 2, 3 and 7 that requires zero administrative hours from your Academy Careers Leads.
Retention Focused: Reduce the risk of “The £60k Mistake” by verifying degree pathways before enrolment.
What We
- Vetted Peer Mentorship: 1-to-1, structured online conversations with ADI-Certified university mentors.
- Targeted Interventions: Standalone sessions tailored to each student's specific course or pathway stage.
- Turnkey Oversight: Full safeguarding alignment and streamlined reporting—zero admin for your team.
Safeguarding & Oversight: All mentors are vetted, sessions follow a clear structure, and platform oversight aligns with school safeguarding expectations.
The ADI Implementation
A seamless, five-step rollout for individual academies or multi-school estates.
Step 1: Funding & Resource Match We determine if your institution is eligible for Fully Funded Employer-Sponsorship (based on available funding routes) or if a Direct Purchase model is the best fit for your budget.
Step 2: License Activation Once the partnership is confirmed, we provide unique access credentials for your specific student cohorts. For Trusts, we can manage this centrally or distribute licenses to individual Academy Leads.
Step 3: Student-Led Engagement Using our secure platform, students browse vetted university mentors and book sessions independently. To ensure maximum impact, every session is bookended by a Structured Reflection:
Pre-Session: Students identify their specific anxieties or questions.
Post-Session: Students log key takeaways and updated confidence levels.
Step 4: Zero-Touch Management We handle the heavy lifting: scheduling, safeguarding checks, and secure video links. Already Doing It (ADI) manages the entire operational flow, requiring zero administrative hours from your careers team.
Step 5: You receive a report tailored to your package to verify student participation and satisfy Gatsby Benchmark reporting:
Standard: Receive an “Impact & Engagement Report”.
Enhanced: Receive an “Student Impact & Intelligence Report” featuring deep-dive student sentiment data.
Trusts: Receive the aggregated “Strategic Impact & Education Intelligence Report” for your entire estate.
Designed for
- Decision Verification: Empowers students to make confident, informed choices about post-18 pathways through evidence-backed peer insight
- Operational Efficiency: Extends high-quality 1-to-1 guidance across your entire estate without increasing staff workload or administrative overhead
- The 'Unfiltered' Perspective: Facilitates private, near-peer conversations that break through the "intimidation barrier," allowing students to ask the questions they won't ask staff or formal alumni
- Flexible Deployment: A low-risk, scalable model designed for rapid pilots, targeted interventions (e.g., Pupil Premium), or whole-cohort support
- Empowered Ownership: Our student-led booking system encourages independence and accountability, allowing sessions to take place outside of curriculum hours to protect teaching time
The
Our Mentors aren’t just university students; they are ADI-Certified. Every mentor completes our comprehensive Mentor Training Course, ensuring they understand the high standards of safeguarding and professional conduct required by KCSIE.
They offer unbiased perspective on:
- Course expectations
- University life
- Transitions and realities
- Decisions they would make differently with hindsight
Exact course or university matches are used when helpful, but sessions focus on relevance and reflection, not rigid matching.
