Our core activities are based around Black students, teachers, and parents who currently, actively engage with educational institutions, in line with our wider organisational aims. However, we are keen to extend the benefits of the network to professionals who are interested in improving their own career opportunities, as well as those of others.

The benefits of networking are well-documented. At ACEN we provide a unique opportunity to strengthen and widen network building options for our community. So whether you would like to offer opportunities to current students, or want to take advantage of the professional network for your own career progression please register HERE.

We will be launching our comprehensive membership package in spring 2022, offering our comprehensive database of members a wide range of benefits including (but not limited to) careers advice, mentoring, and work experience opportunities.
