F4S improves the employability of young people, advancing social mobility and gender equity, helping to close the skills gap and boost economic growth.

Young people
We inspire students, opening their eyes to possible career paths to prepare them for the rapidly changing world of work and increase their employability. We can provide these invaluable role model encounters in the classroom or virtually, meaning geographical location does not limit their access to a diverse network of business role models.

Educators
We support teachers to improve their provision of careers education for their students, helping to close the gap between the curriculum and the world of work. We also provide a teacher CPD encounter to enable educators to gain a better insight into what is happening in different industries and support up-skilling, so they can feel confident to provide careers education across various industries for their students.

Businesses
We help to grow a greater and more diverse talent pipeline to help reduce the skills gap for UK businesses in the future. Our platform provides a quick and easy way for your employees to volunteer within their community. We also enable businesses to provide students with real-world virtual work experience placements to support career choices and employability chances through our affiliate partner Workfinder.
