You Can't Be What You Can't See
The Problem
“47% of today’s jobs won’t exist in 2034” according to research conducted by the Oxford Martin School, University of Oxford, England
Inspiring times for the well equipped but challenging times for for the young people of today… especially if those having to make tough decisions about what subjects to choose and which courses to follow to take you on a pathway to… well, the unknown. That is 35 million 16-24 year old students in any one year.
The fact of the matter is that the state, independent of country, provides their youth inconsistent exposure to career opportunities. What they do provide is often outdated, linked to their own agenda and provided well after it can influence the study or career path chosen.
The subsequent impact on personal wellbeing, economic independence and lost productivity has a profound effect that ripples through society.
Our Vision
A World where everyone has the opportunity to find and pursue the right role for themselves, independent of their economic, social, cultural or any other "classification", before they start their career, not as they end it!
