Our Reach
You can't be what you don't see
Our mission as a charity is to open up a world of career possibilities for children aged 4–14 regardless of background or lived experience through our bilingual online learning platform for schools.
It’s where careers come alive, curiosity grows, and children start to see themselves in exciting new futures.
Romodels takes learners on a journey of career exploration and self-discovery.
Closing The Gap
We’re tackling the barriers that limit children’s aspirations and self-belief — and showing the difference when they see a wider, more inspiring future. We are inspiring the next generation of changemakers, creatives, engineers, entrepreneurs, inventors, leaders, scientists, and trailblazers.
The challenge
The Romodels difference
-
Stagnant Aspirations: Career dreams have barely changed in 20 years while the world of work has transformed.
​
-
Stereotypes: By age six, stereotypes around gender, ethnicity, neurodiversity, or physical ability or location can already limit dreams.
​
-
Late Career Exploration: Careers are introduced too late, in one-off events, and often focus on a narrow range of well-known roles led by people who don’t look or sound like them.
-
Earlier Exposure: From age 4–14, our Discover, Experience, Believe programme introduces children to future-focused careers that require innovation, creativity, and real-world problem-solving.
​​
-
Representation that Inspires: Children see role models who look and sound like them, breaking down stereotypes.
​​
-
Real-World Learning: Learners take on practical missions linked to each Romodel’s work, connecting what they learn in their classrooms to exciting future careers.
Our unique approach
Romodels is designed to raise learner aspirations and self-confidence and enhance teacher confidence to incorporate careers into their lessons.

Transform the careers children see every day
Thank you to our supporters
Romodels wouldn’t be possible without the generosity, belief, and collaboration of the people and organisations who share our vision.
​
Together we are taking learners on a journey of career exploration and self-discovery. It is an opportunity for learners to discover hidden Romodels inside and outside of their community. It is a chance to give the smallest among us the biggest dreams – and the knowledge, tools, and beliefs to reach them.
