UK Education and Training Start Up of the Year
Inspiring the next generation to believe “that could be me”
You can't be what you don't see
We bring inspiring Romodels and future-focused careers into classrooms, helping learners see that exciting futures can belong to them too.
Romodels is an award-winning, bilingual career education programme for children aged 4 to 14. As a charity, our mission is to open up the world of work for every learner, whatever their background, community or lived experience.
Through our online learning platform, schools can access real role model stories, career-linked missions and classroom resources rooted in the Curriculum for Wales.
Together, they help learners discover new possibilities, challenge stereotypes and start to believe, “that could be me.”

Our Why
The Current Reality
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.
The Romodels Difference
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.
Transform the careers children see every day
At Romodels, we help schools challenge those limiting beliefs early.
Pupils feel seen and more confident about their future, while teachers feel equipped to bring career learning into the classroom without extra planning pressure. Our resources are created to be immersive, to invite pupils to explore, to ask questions and feel excited about what they could become. Pupils are at the heart of the learning, encouraged to follow their curiosity and make their own connections along the way.
The result is simple but powerful.
Through relatable role models and ready-to-use classroom resources, pupils discover careers beyond the ones they already know. They see people like them working in exciting, future-focused roles and begin to connect their own interests, strengths and communities with the wider world of work.

Our impact
Evidence we’ve gathered shows that early exposure to diverse, future-focused careers can raise children’s aspirations, self-belief and ambition.
When learners meet relatable role models and explore careers through real classroom activities, they begin to see more possibilities for themselves.
They can challenge assumptions about who belongs in certain roles, recognise the value of their own strengths and understand how what they are learning now can connect to their future.
For schools, this means career learning becomes part of a wider conversation about confidence, curiosity and aspiration. Romodels helps pupils look beyond the careers they already know and start to believe that exciting futures are open to them too.
Join as a Romodels School
With Romodels, pupils see careers through people they can relate to. They begin to recognise their own strengths, ask new questions and imagine different futures for themselves. Teachers have the tools to make those conversations part of learning across the curriculum.

Thank you to our supporters
Trusted by schools, charities, education partners and national organisations.
Romodels wouldn’t be possible without the generosity and collaboration of the people and organisations who share our vision.
Together, we are helping learners explore careers, understand themselves and discover role models inside and outside their communities. This work gives children the chance to dream bigger, but it also gives them something more practical: the knowledge, tools and belief to start seeing those dreams as possible.
