Opportunities for Businesses & Charities
Help a young person access life‑changing career support.
Not every young person has the resources or confidence to access high‑quality career development. By sponsoring a place on one of our programmes, your organisation can directly fund a young person to receive coaching, employability training, and real‑world experience that can transform their future.
Your support can help provide:
-
Access to the Graduate Head Start Programme
-
Career coaching and employability sessions
-
Work‑readiness training
-
Skills Builder‑aligned development
-
Opportunities that build confidence, skills, and aspirations
This is a meaningful way to invest in the next generation — and make a real difference in a young person’s life.
Grads Career Head Start Programme
Give your career the launch it deserves.
Starting your career can feel overwhelming — but you don’t have to figure it out alone. Our Career Head Start Programme is designed specifically for graduates who want clarity, confidence, and direction as they enter the job market.
Why now?
Graduate Unemployment Is Rising — Here’s How We’re Supporting Young People
New analysis shows more than 700,000 graduates are out of work and claiming benefits — a sharp rise since 2019. At the same time, the Department for Education’s Graduate Labour Market Statistics 2024 report that 87.6% of graduates are in employment, but many are not in roles that match their skills, ambitions, or financial needs.
The gap between the data and the lived experience is clear: young people aren’t lacking potential — they’re lacking access, clarity, and employer‑ready skills.
