New Challenge is a London-based, not-for-profit organisation, dedicated to providing expert careers information, advice and guidance and training to support our clients to improve their skills and either progress in their existing roles or secure new sustained employment. It has a long and successful track record dating back to 1997 in supporting Londoners to develop their careers. Due to our experience and beliefs, we focus our work supporting Third Sector organisations who have an interest in helping individuals to improve their skills and employment prospects. As such, we work with libraries, housing organisations, CVS organisations, charities and not-for-profits who have a focus in these areas.

We adopt a personal, learner-centred approach and each student is supported throughout their learning by their Assessor but with additional support provided by our team of Advisers, meaning every learner is provided with all the support and more, they need to succeed!
