Become A Corporate Partner

We partner with companies through their foundations and social purpose teams to create impactful partnerships spanning philanthropy, volunteering and developing early career talent

How we work with partners

We are grateful for the support of corporates, trusts, foundations and philanthropists. Our unique collaborations directly advance our shared mission: to educate, empower, and equip the next generation of diverse digital talent. Together, we are committed to harnessing the transformative power of technology as a catalyst for positive social mobility.

Working with Ada has helped us develop exceptional and diverse technology and digital talent.

Why partner with us

We offer companies a powerful way to align their Corporate Social Responsibility goals, helping to unlock opportunities for talented young people from minoritised backgrounds and to access early talent for their own recruitment programmes.

We work with corporate partners in a range of ways to maximise impact

We are incredibly grateful to our partners for their ongoing support, it plays a vital role in our mission to educate and empower the next generation of diverse learners. Our collaboration with industry allows us to offer real-world opportunities, industry insight and a unique learning experience for all of our learners.

Bank of America is a founding partner of Ada, having provided nearly £1 million in donations over the duration of the partnership. They are training apprentices through Ada’s Apprenticeship programme, provide a huge number of employee volunteers to support our learners directly, and run an annual Industry Project. The partnership was instrumental in Ada being awarded the King’s Award for Enterprise application in 2023.

King has been a founding partner since 2016, providing significant annual unrestricted donations totaling over £700,000. The partnership focuses on supporting young women in tech and engaging female students, aligning with King’s ED&I and Sustainability vision. Key activities include “Careers in Tech with King” events and an industry project where over 100 learners worked with King volunteers to develop their own game.  King volunteers also support Ada Skills sessions and have hosted Year 13 graduations.
