“Talent doesn’t have a postcode, yet so many opportunities are limited by where you come from. We need to ensure that whoever you are, wherever you live, that you can kickstart the future you want.”

- Tokunbo Ajasa-Oluwa, Career Ready CEO. 

At Career Ready our mission is to boost social mobility and inclusion, ensuring every young person, regardless of background, is empowered and able to achieve their potential.

For far too many young people, opportunities are restricted by circumstances outside of their control. Because of their background or where they grew up, their talents and potential often go undiscovered. We exist to change this for young people by connecting them with employers and providing quality workplace experiences and support.

Our aim is for every young person on our programme to progress to a sustained, positive post-school destination, whatever this may mean in relation to their ambitions: higher education, apprenticeship, or employment. Working with our partners, we champion positive social mobility with an emphasis on empowerment and system change, supporting and challenging them to build diverse and inclusive workplaces.
