Access to real-world information is limited, diverse opportunities aren’t made obvious and expectations from employers are neither necessary nor fair. Only the top-attaining or well-connected have a chance of securing a skilled job quickly, leaving the rest immobilised.
Not only is this affecting the mental health of young people, but it’s also an unsustainable employment model. Nobody wins.
Pollen’s mission is to bridge the gap between education and employment, empowering every young person with the knowledge, skills and opportunities they need to succeed.
Our all-in-one careers community is designed to remove barriers from recruitment which we believe to be caused by the CV. Instead we matchmake young talent with responsible employers – based on criteria that actually counts. We're not just about jobs; we provide you with guidance, resources, and the help you need to land the career that is right for you.
