ABOUT US

Founded with a vision to empower the next generation, Young Professionals is the UK’s leading student network dedicated to supporting young people on their career journeys—ensuring they have access to meaningful opportunities regardless of background or postcode.

Our Unique Reach

What sets us apart is the scale and depth of our network. With access to over 500,000 students, 180,000 teachers and careers professionals, and 150,000 parents across the UK, we are uniquely positioned to engage audiences from all regions—including remote, hard-to-reach, and socially deprived areas.

Whether our clients are looking to raise awareness, diversify their talent pipeline, or deliver youth-focused campaigns, we can support them with bespoke targeting that reaches underrepresented communities at scale. As a trusted voice and influencer within education, our audiences actively engage with our content and act on it—making us the go-to partner for initiatives that require authentic youth participation and national reach.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple yet powerful: to bridge the gap between education and employment by providing resources, mentorship, and real-world experiences that help students succeed. We believe every young person, regardless of their background, deserves the opportunity to thrive and build a successful future.
