Here are our 3 impact areas for 2025:​​
Impact Promise
1
Redefining Career Education (Young People)
Traditional career advice and outdated linear career paths no longer align with the realities of today’s evolving job market. We are revolutionising career education by providing honest, forward-thinking consultancy that empowers students and graduates to build innovative, purpose-driven careers in a world of rapid change.
Young people are currently stepping into the job market with misguided advice and false narratives about todays employment marketplace and opportunities. Many are struggling to secure full-time employment in their areas of interest, high numbers are choosing to take unskilled work that doesn't require a degree, and many feel disconnected from their careers and burdened in debt. As well as facing recruitment bias, young people are challenged by their lack of confidence and soft skills, lack of job experience, skills-gaps, mental health, AI and job market competition (to mention but a few).
By delivering innovative career structures and exciting methodologies to overcome employment barriers, we will empower students to critically assess their aspirations and make informed decisions that prioritise authenticity, skills, growth and career longevity. Through proven strategies, we will help them to take back control of their career journey, showcase themselves to stand out from the competition and build exciting goals to improve resilience, confidence and think outside the box to reach their fullest potential. By equipping the next generation with the tools to take ownership of their growth, we are preparing them to be brave, to step into the workplace with clarity, confidence, and resilience - ready to move forwards in identifying innovative employers and ways of working that will support them in thriving and building inspiring careers.
We are also excited to support young people to also become fellow mentors; ensuring that they have the chance to give back to their alumni.
Our Promise: Impact 1,000 students and graduates to kick-start their early careers.

Reigniting Female Careers (Career Breaks)
Highly skilled, experienced women shouldn't have to fight to return to careers they've worked hard for - yet that's the reality for far to many. After taking time out for parenting or illness, they face bias, outdated hiring practices, systematic barriers and a severe lack of support that makes returning harder than it should be. Not to mention the sheer powerhouse of talent and skills that the UK economy is missing!
Once again, there is a wealth of false narratives and mis-information within the female community about work after career breaks and that isn't helped by the stats. The Careers After Babies report revealed that 85% of mothers leave full-time employment within 3 years of their first child. People Management reported that 69% of women felt career breaks diminished their confidence, leaving them disconnected from a purpose. Instead of being valued for their transferable skills, resilience and leadership, many women are overlooked and their careers take a back seat to flexibility.
​
It's time to change this narrative. As well as educating women about the true narratives and exciting opportunities available to those who want to return to work after a career break, we will introduce them to strategies that will help them to follow their passions, deliver impact and utilise their transferable skills, all whilst taking back control to enter a new phase of their career, on their terms.
Our Promise: We will dedicate 20% of client engagements to supporting women in rediscovering their passions, the innovative roles that will align with these and support them into authentic and fulfilling careers - helping to build confidence, define their purpose and get excited for the next phase of their career.

Breaking Barriers For Those Disadvantaged
Talent is universal, but opportunity is not. Too many skilled professionals from disadvantaged backgrounds struggle to break into high-growth industries. Not because of a lack of ability, but due to systemic barriers, a lack of guidance and limited access to vital networks that open doors.
We are changing this story. We are committed to bridging this gap by providing innovative career consultancy that empowers individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds to recognise their full worth so they can reach their potential in an authentic way. Through collaborations with our partner organisations and personalised career strategies, we will help them understand their unique workplace needs, we will identify roles where they can thrive and highlight exciting ways to showcase their potential and network with the right people to build momentum with their career journey.
By equipping them with innovative methodologies and confidence, we ensure they can work towards careers that inspire growth, stability, confidence, impact and success - rewriting outdated career narratives so that potential, not privilege, defines opportunity.
Our Promise: We will dedicate 20% of client engagements to coaching and mentoring talent. Real change happens when everyone has a fair chance to succeed and we believe that our approach will have the best opportunity to directly impact leaders of the future - ensuring that future management is more reflective of our extraordinary diversity.
