CareersVerse

Immersive, interactive, career discovery

Explore careers, training, and education in a fully immersive 3D world – completely free for schools, families, and young people.

Sector-specific zones are packed with useful information, experts from students to business leaders are on hand to offer insights, and AI-powered avatar advisers engage in a two-way dialogue to create a personalised journey around the platform.

CareersVerse is accessible all year round, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, allowing visitors to explore information at their own pace without pressure or time limits.

Whether you’re curious about construction, passionate about healthcare or exploring green skills, CareersVerse makes career discovery simple, visual and inspiring.

The challenge

Why do we need CareersVerse?   

The careers guidance system is failing too many young people. Currently, 43% of Gen Z say they’ve received no formal career advice; Over 214,000 skills-shortage vacancies remain unfilled; and 11.1% of 16–24-year-olds are unemployed.

Career services are stretched. Advice is fragmented. Many young people are unaware of the various routes, roles, and industries available to them. Outdated stereotypes persist, alternative pathways, such as apprenticeships, are overlooked, and industries struggle to connect with the talent they need.

In-person events might offer a way to connect but they are often overcrowded and time limited, with many young people missing out as they compete for access to information.   

It’s time for a new approach to make it easier for young people to find the career information they need, and for organisations to attract their workforce of tomorrow.
