EmployabilityUK is revolutionising the way businesses engage with the next generation, blending bespoke employee volunteering programmes with education to inspire, instil confidence, and bolster the work readiness of young people. This is your chance to be a part of something transformational as we set our sights on a thrilling three-year journey, partnering with diverse sectors to deliver an assortment of dynamic programmes.
By 2025, we’ll be standing strong in 25 vibrant cities and bustling towns throughout the UK, ready to uplift young lives. And we’re saving a seat for you!
At the heart of our mission are those who need us most – the vulnerable youth, those who may have stumbled at the starting line of adulthood.

We’re stepping into the future with brand new, trailblazing programmes designed to propel pre and post-18 learners to new heights. Special modules are tailored for those currently outside the realms of education, training, or work, ensuring no one is left behind.
This is your moment to make a difference. Can you envision yourself and your colleagues dedicating your time to turbocharge the job readiness of our future workforce? To inspire them to reach for the stars in their career aspirations? If the answer is a resounding ‘YES’, then we welcome you with open arms to EmployabilityUK. Let’s change lives together!

Kagool
The Tech Boss Challenge perfectly illustrates the impact our programmes can have on young people and demonstrates just how powerful the partnership between EmployabilityUK and Kagool has become. Discover the most recent Challenge.
“We found the Tech Boss challenge very rewarding as the question given was difficult to get our heads round at first. The advice we were given was really useful, especially around presentations and first impressions. The project was very eye-opening, seeing how much effort people have to put in on projects was very inspirational. The project gave us confidence, experience, and challenged us. It’s helped with team building since we didn’t all know each other well beforehand.”
