Our take
Life after compulsory education can be daunting, especially when you're young and not sure what you want to do. Deciding whether you should take a gap year, apply for University or take on an apprenticeship amongst many different other routes can be overwhelming.
Unifrog have created a platform which acts as a one-stop-shop for students to compare apprenticeships, school leaver programmes, and further education courses in the UK. Once a student has decided on a pathway, Unifrog makes it easy to record their activities and competencies as well as create and send applications
The main factor driving success for Unifrog is its simplicity. Everything can be streamlined in one place making it easy for students research, apply and track their applications. The ability for teachers to have access and provide references and manage students progress is also a big bonus.
Ultimately Unifrog works to empower students to make the right decisions for them. Over 2000 schools have already signed up, with 98.5% saying they would recommend the service to other schools. They are proving to be a real game changer in the space with no signs of slowing down after expansion across Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Unifrog
Mhairi Drysdale (Recruitment Lead)
- Within the company we try to foster a culture of innovation, and a happy working environment, both because this is the right thing to do, and because we think this results in the most effective team. To this end we believe in open communication, celebrating successes, supporting each other, not being afraid to be wrong or to fail, and promoting good ideas wherever they come from.
- As a platform that supports teachers and students from a huge variety of backgrounds it’s important that our team and leadership reflects this diversity. This is something we are actively working towards and prioritising. We want to embed diversity, equity and inclusion across everything we do, continually evaluating policies and practices to make sure they are inclusive and equitable.
- If you require additional support or reasonable adjustments during your recruitment process please reach out to Mhairi our Recruitment Lead.
- To make sure everyone’s voice is heard and people have the opportunities to learn to be better allies in the workplace, we encourage the team to share what they’re celebrating, facilitate training and group discussions, and seek regular feedback about what more the company could do to help people feel included.
- To ensure that our recruitment process is consistent and fair, we anonymise your application and therefore do not see your name, personal, educational or professional background. We also randomise the order of responses. That way no candidate is disproportionately advantaged or disadvantaged by where they show up in the group.
