About us
Talent is everywhere, opportunity is not.
Being able to realise your potential depends on who your parents are, your education, your skills, and also where you grew up.
This is why The Talent Foundry exists. We envisage a more diverse, equal society, where young people, through inspiring and fun experiences can build their skills and confidence and connect to exciting employers who value talent over background.

Since 2009, we have delivered a range of programmes designed to help young people to fulfil their potential.
We help pupils from underserved communities develop new skills, grow in confidence, learn to work as a team, and discover hidden talents and interests. Our programmes equip them with core skills, such as numeracy, communication and technological fluency, which are valued in the workplace and will stay with them for the rest of their lives.
Funded entirely through the support of commercial and public sectors, The Talent Foundry works with schools across the country to make a difference to the lives – and futures – of young people who need that extra help.
