Our mission
We’re on a mission to level the playing field when it comes to young people finding and applying for their next step after school. We're achieving this by bringing all the available information into one single, impartial, user-friendly platform that helps students to make the best choices, and submit the strongest applications. We also empower teachers and counselors to manage the progression process effectively.
Our outlook is truly global - we work with schools and universities in countries all over the world from the US to New Zealand and Italy to Hong Kong. We want to make it so that young people can compare every opportunity, wherever it is in the world, and have all the support they need to make successful applications.
We have a clear social purpose, and we’re hugely ambitious. We already work with a third of UK secondary schools and hundreds of international schools. We are growing rapidly in terms of the number of our customers and in terms of the breadth of products we offer.
Our team is at the heart of our business and is integral to our success. We work hard to foster a culture of openness, happiness and innovation, and we commit to helping every individual learn and grow so that they reach their full potential. We want to hire talented people, whatever their background. If you are excited by our mission and are ready to work hard, please don’t hesitate to apply. We look forward to hearing from you!

As well as centre-based activities,schools work emerged as another important strand of the charity, with support being offered to several schools across Bolton, in a variety of ways (e.g. lunchtime clubs, pupil mentoring support, and targeted issues-based work).
In 2017, with mental health concerns emerging as a major issue for the young people in the community, a new “Young Persons Listening Service” and “Healthy Minds” peer support group was set up as part of a new “Thrive alliance” working in partnership with other Bolton based charities and with funding from Bolton CCG.
