Hire Young Talent. Invest in the Future.
Finding the right people for your business is about more than qualifications and experience. It's about finding individuals with the right attitude, ambition and willingness to learn.
At Kick Start Careers CIC, we support young people through practical employability and personal development programmes designed to prepare them for the workplace. Our candidates have the opportunity to develop essential professional skills before being introduced to employers, helping your business get the very best out of the talent you recruit.
Confidence & Mindset
Our confidence-building and mindset development activities help young people recognise their strengths, communicate effectively and approach workplace challenges positively.
Personal Development
Candidates develop essential skills including teamwork, problem-solving, resilience and professional behaviour, helping them adapt to the expectations of a modern workplace.
Time Management & Organisation
Our practical training helps candidates understand the importance of punctuality, managing workloads, prioritising tasks and taking responsibility for their work.
LinkedIn & Professional Networking
We support candidates in developing professional LinkedIn profiles, understanding networking etiquette and building the confidence to represent themselves professionally when connecting with employers, colleagues and clients.
Why Hire Young Talent?
Bringing young people into your business isn't just about filling a vacancy. It's an opportunity to invest in future talent, introduce fresh perspectives and develop employees who can grow alongside your organisation.
Develop Talent Your Way
Young people entering the workplace often have fewer established working habits. This gives employers an opportunity to provide training, introduce company values and develop employees in line with their own processes and expectations.
Build Your Future Workforce
Investing in young talent can help you build a loyal and committed team. By offering development opportunities, mentoring and clear career progression, you can encourage employees to grow with your business over the long term.
Fresh Knowledge & Perspectives
Students and graduates can bring current knowledge, new ideas, digital awareness and fresh perspectives into your organisation. Their enthusiasm and willingness to learn can make a valuable contribution to your existing team.
Recruitment Without the Fees
Looking to recruit a talented graduate without the traditional recruitment fees? At Kick Start Careers CIC, we help employers connect with ambitious young people who are ready to take the next step in their careers.
As a Community Interest Company, our focus is on creating opportunities rather than generating recruitment profits. We work with students and graduates to develop their employability skills, confidence and professional readiness, helping employers discover promising new talent.
There is no compulsory recruitment fee when hiring through our CIC. Instead, we invite employers to support our mission through a voluntary contribution following a successful graduate placement.
A Small Contribution. A Lasting Impact.
Following a successful graduate placement, we invite your organisation to make a voluntary donation of £200. Every contribution received is reinvested into Kick Start Careers CIC to help fund mentoring, employability workshops, careers guidance and future opportunities for young people. The donation is entirely optional.
No Compulsory Recruitment Fees

Support Young People's Futures

Create Lasting Social Value
Voluntary donations help fund further employability support, allowing one successful placement to create opportunities for others.
