Empowering young people through enterprise

We’re not your average academy. We help young people build confidence, earn qualifications, start businesses, and speak their truth—without the jargon or judgment.

Bridging the gap between aspiration and real-world success.

What is OneAcademy?

oneacademy is a new kind of learning space—built for real life, not just the classroom. We exist for young people who want more than exam results and tick-box education. Whether you’re looking to build a business, get job-ready, or simply figure out who you are and where you’re heading—we’ve got your back.

We know that traditional paths don’t work for everyone. That’s why we focus on practical, creative, and confidence-building programmes that meet young people where they’re at. No judgment. No red tape. Just the tools, support, and real-world experience to help you move forward.

We work with 15–25-year-olds who are ready to take action. From enterprise skills and study programmes, to confidence coaching and Straight Talk sessions, we create safe, inspiring spaces where learning actually means something.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to start. And we’ll help you get there—with a brand that’s built on energy, authenticity, and belief in what young people are capable of.

This is oneacademy. It’s not school. It’s your next step.

Services

oneacademy offers three core service areas, each designed to give young people the confidence, skills, and space they need to take control of their futures:

1. Learning & Progression

Practical education that fits around the way you live and learn. Our study programmes offer alternative routes to qualifications, careers, and personal growth—without the pressure or pretence of traditional education.

2. Enterprise & Employability

Whether you want to start your own business or build job-ready skills, this stream is all about making it happen. From pop-up markets to enterprise fairs, we help young people turn their ideas into income.

3. Community & Wellbeing

At oneacademy, support is built in—not bolted on. We create safe, inclusive spaces where young people can speak openly, feel heard, and grow together. Mental health, social connection, and self-worth are at the heart of everything we do.

Why oneacademy Works

We start with you

oneacademy puts young people at the centre of everything we do. We don’t expect everyone to learn the same way, or that a traditional path is right for everyone. We start with where you are and support you to build the future you want, on your terms.

We speak your language

We keep things simple and direct. Our programmes are designed to be clear, honest and free from jargon. Whether it’s a workshop, a one-to-one coaching session, or a group conversation, you’ll always get practical advice you can use.

We build confidence, not just skills

We help you recognise your strengths and believe in what you’re capable of. Confidence, mindset and mental health are just as important to us as qualifications and practical experience. We give space for both to grow together.

From the first day at oneacademy, it felt different. The team actually listened to me. They didn’t talk at me—they worked with me. I learned how to turn my ideas into something real, built my confidence through the Teen Markets programme, and even got help planning my next steps after the course.
