We support experienced professionals when they are in a transition stage of their careers
We’re nearly there!
We are getting closer to the launch of our new employment platform and our career transition program for experienced professionals 45+. At the moment, we are running a pilot for 50 experienced professionals thinking about a career transition to test our offerings prior to launch. The pilot is running from May to August, which will be followed by a similar pilot with employers from September to test our platform.

The modern career – it’s all about freedom to change direction
The idea of a linear career is being disrupted. The traditional career trajectory is changing as workers, especially those of mature-age seek opportunities to move in new directions.
