Our take
Working out where to start when looking for higher education or work experience opportunities can be tough. Springpod’s aim is to make it that bit easier, with its opportunities platform for young people.
Think LinkedIn for Gen Z - young people build their profile and CV and can browse opportunities from big name businesses and institutions. The platform helps your business or institution build brand-specific campaigns, lead virtual events or partner with existing careers fairs to help reach out to an online generation.
The scale of its partnerships speak to its success. With over 150,000 students in the UK browsing the platform to find opportunities from the Universities of Oxford, Durham, Southampton and many more, as well as placement from companies like Vodafone, Deloitte, the NHS, Jaguar Landrover, Barclays and Nestlé.
Springpod was awarded £4 million in Series A funding in 2023, and will use this investment to further enhance its platform for young people.
