Open Doors

A careers advisor in your pocket

As the first digital solution from Mission Beyond, Open Doors will be a catalyst to drive systemic change and promote social mobility in the UK.

Overcoming barriers to connect young people with opportunity, so that the fragmented ecosystem of initiatives, programmes, mentorship and bursary support operates more effectively - maximising impact for young people, and positive outcomes for employers.

How it works

Open Doors will connect one million young people, breathing life into their economic independence - and engage with over one thousand organisations (employers, education providers and third sector organisations) creating a national digital infrastructure to tackle social mobility.

Our approach

In just eight weeks our coalition took the idea from a post-it note to a working proof-of-concept. The team was formed of the two founders and a cross-functional team from Red Badger. This partnership ran through the course of the project which helped maintain alignment while moving fast.

The team started with discovery. A week to talk through the objectives, understand the context and get to grips with the wealth of research the platform aimed to make accessible.

“This initiative brought us together with other business and community members, so we can make a shared investment in education and employability. We cannot wait to do more!”
