For early talent teams

When young people think of a career at a major brand, what jobs come to mind?

Here's what 300 young people had to say.

When shown a major UK brand in four separate industries, the majority could only name one or two roles.

Out of hundreds of roles available across industries, a huge chunk of the next generation of talent can only picture a small handful.

The problem

Young people can't apply for roles they don't know exist

Most teams like yours are struggling to find the right people or feel invisible to the next generation of talent. But the issue might not be what you think.

Young people don't need more ambition, drive or determination. They have that in abundance. What they need is more information, opportunity and access.

With the huge variety of roles available across all industries, the majority of young people have narrowed their view down to one or two before your recruitment campaign has even launched.

Career decisions are being made far earlier than organisations realise, so reaching the right people with the right information at the right time is key.

Springpod audience

Social proof

The companies already acting

Many of our partners are already using Springpod to increase career awareness and confidence in young people. Here's what learners had to say.

Getting to know how many different routes are open to people and analysing which would be best for me.

I loved that this programme covered a wide range of departments rather than focusing on just 1 department.

It has opened my eyes to how many different roles and departments there are to look into.

What I enjoyed most was learning about all the different teams, even ones that aren't known about.

I found learning about the different roles available the most interesting, as I didn't quite realize the sheer volume of specialty roles that support the running of the company.

It was interesting to see how each role contributes to the company's success and to explore which roles align with my skills and interests.

Thank you so much for giving me this incredible opportunity to learn about the industry. It has really opened my eyes to what these industries entail.

I found it very interesting learning about the different roles and the general structure of the organisation.
