Forward 25 Careers is a social enterprise promoting creative action on future work and careers. We produce innovative resources for creating awareness on careers and work opportunities, work on collaborative mash-ups to bring talent and corporate social responsibility together for global impact, and provide workspaces and mentoring for young people going back into employment and education.
Being based at the Innovation Center at the University of Exeter Campus, we have been able to work with young people raising aspirations, moving forward with their career related activities, following their hearts and their talents looking for the job that’s perfect for them. Forward 25 Careers is managed by founder Director, Rupa Chilvers. She brings her knowledge in workforce development, project management and data analytics to make innovative projects collaborations work for young people.
We are working with young people aged between 9 and 25 years and welcome referrals, as well as direct contact.
