Our mission

Building the Y.E.S. Generation (Young. Empowered. Successful.)

By partnering with Earniversity, your students gain work experience, learn about employability and entrepreneurship, earn an income, and develop an "I can do this!" attitude.

Concerning statistics:

  • 83% of 17-18 year olds are anxious about money (LIBF)
  • 82% of students want to learn more about money at school (LIBF)
  • 3 out of 4 young people in Britain feel they don't have the skills or abilities they need for the real world (City&Guilds)
  • Only 17.3% of young people have access to work experience (Youth Employment UK)
  • ¾’s of students are interested in learning how to start and run their own business. (King's Trust)
  • 40%+ of young people’s ideal jobs are at risk of automation in the next 10-years. (OECD)

We bridge the gap between School and the Working World, shortening that distance of time between Learning and Earning.

  • Your programme is bringing and energy and opportunity that we simply cannot replicate internally, and we see this as a significant opportunity to build business awareness and experience addressing the employability and work experience challenges.

  • This collaboration with Earniversity has shown that with the right support young people can break down some of barriers to self-employment. It has been a great success, with participants able to use the skills learnt immediately and earn an income. We look forward to seeing the impact of the second cohort of this collaboration.

  • I can tell you that Demi really enjoyed the 5 weeks spent on the course. She is constantly thinking up ideas on how to earn and how to be better than those doing the same thing. It has been a very good experience for her and I am confident it is an experience and knowledge she will carry with her and use for many years to come. Thank you Earniversity!
