Our vision is to spark ambition and unlock opportunity so that every young person can succeed and thrive as part of a fairer society. Our purpose is to help underserved young people discover their talents, think bigger about their future, and build the confidence and valuable skills.

Story

The Talent Foundry aims to increase social mobility by helping young people from under-served backgrounds discover what they are amazing at, develop valuable new employment skills and take that first step into the world of work.

Talent is everywhere, opportunity is not.

Too many of life’s opportunities for young people are still shaped by factors outside of their control. Where they were born, their family’s income, their school and where they live dictate the educational and career paths open to them.

At The Talent Foundry, we believe this must change.

Working with schools, corporate partners and public sector organisations we deliver facilitated workshops and insight events to help young people build their employability skills and confidence.

Your support will be helping us to level the playing field of opportunity so every young person can achieve their full potential, regardless of their socio-economic background.

"The programme gave me great insight into the world of the built environment, making it easier to decide what I wanted to do in the future and giving me the opportunity to network with industry professionals and like-minded individuals. The workshops set up a solid foundation for me to nurture my skills and make sure I was ready to apply to Degree Apprenticeships." Student
