TechStart Hub brings together training, mentoring and employer pathways so 16–24 year-olds can build skills, confidence and a first job in tech — wherever they're starting from.
Our impact
What we do
A young person walks in unsure. They leave with skills, a network, and a paid opportunity. Everything we run feeds that journey.
Hands-on cohorts in coding, design and digital skills — built for 16–24 year-olds, including those not in education or employment.
Work placements, mentoring and direct hire pipelines with employers who want to invest in early-career tech talent.
Transparent reporting, measurable outcomes and a clear theory of change to back every pound put into the programme.
Working with schools, councils and grassroots groups to reach young people where they already are.
How we work
Every cohort, grant and placement is tracked end-to-end. Funders see outcomes against goals. Employers see talent that's been prepared. Young people see a clear next step — every time.
Live figures pulled from the TechStart CRM. Partners receive a quarterly impact pack with full detail.
Voices
"Six months ago I was stuck. TechStart got me a laptop, a mentor and an interview that changed everything."
"The cohort felt like a team from day one. I learned to build, present and apply for jobs without faking confidence."
"I didn't know what tech jobs even existed. Now I'm building things I'm actually proud of."
