The Talent Foundry

We are a social mobility charity. Our vision is to spark ambition and unlock opportunity so that every young person can succeed and thrive as part of a fairer society. Our purpose is to support- young people from under-served backgrounds to discover their amazing talents, think big about their future and build their skills and confidence to take their next step into higher education or the world of work- employers to value young people's talents (not their background) and connect them to exciting career pathways. We do this by delivering inspiring, skills-based, facilitated workshops led by a The Talent Foundry facilitator and supported by industry volunteers across three themes: Spark - lightbulb moments Explore - career and industry engagement Ignite - intensive connections
