ARCH is a hub created by The Abbey to bring together individuals and organisations across Reading, offering opportunities and learning experiences to young people and young women in particular.
The Abbey’s ARCH programme delivers showcase, bespoke, interactive careers events that give students direct access to leaders in their fields.

Through ARCH we have hosted events exploring law, entrepreneurship, GB Sport, construction, music, broadcasting, finance, engineering, writing and scientific research from pharmaceutical Nanoscience to Venom Pharmacology – which included the opportunity to hold live snakes! We strive for memorable and creative ways to maximise impact.
ARCH redefines careers advice for today’s world, pushing boundaries and opportunity to deepen understanding of options, achieving this in innovative and truly impactful ways.
