Talent to Drive Change

The aspiration of Careers4Change is to maximise the social impact which can be achieved by appointing the right change makers to companies committed to social innovation. Those organisations may operate in the social economy in social businesses and enterprises, social investment organisations, charities, trusts and foundations. They may also be mainstream businesses with an authentic sustainability agenda or, be engaged in impact investment.

Careers4Change is intent on being at the forefront of building diverse teams which are more representative of the general population. By promoting equal access to opportunity regardless of background or previous experience, we endeavour to make organisations more resilient, solutions-focussed and creative.

Those individuals with the appropriate skillsets, and a social conscience, can galvanise businesses into action, empowering them to be more radical in their thinking and more pioneering in their outputs.  Some would say: ‘combining a commercial head with a social heart’.

Impact investment is gathering pace and the social economy is growing as the issues of the 21^st century become more prominent. In the meantime, individuals disillusioned with the failure of capitalism to resolve global challenges are seeking alternatives to their mainstream commercial roles. Careers4Change is in a unique position to connect the sectors by promoting the flow of talent between them for mutual benefit.

The world is facing more complex challenges than ever before; inequality, rising population, energy crisis, climate change, fresh water shortages and social instability are placing unprecedented demands on communities, businesses and government. We require a work force which is agile, creative and flexible, with acute critical thinking skills, to help guide the evolution of the global economy.
