Our Story
Why we started Edworkation
In a recent survey, 55% of students felt their education has not prepared them for the world of work at a time of great economic uncertainty and technological changes, they want personalised career advice and information.
Edworkation is here to make a difference to the experience young people encounter before, during and after the recruitment process.
Getting a job is a job!!! Its challenging, time consuming, stressful, daunting, scary. Then when you finally get the job you’re excited, over the moon with happiness and finally feel all your hard work has paid off. You are only part way there. There are still hurdles, challenges and complexities to navigate. The culture, the routine, the role, the systems, the people and the expectations of those around you.
Through Edworkation, you can become your best self at work and have the very best experience you can. We want you to get the job you want, not the job you need.
Edworkation knows how important it is to have the right team on board. But more than the right team they need to be engaged and feel they play an important role in the success of your business. Investing in their development is one the most effective way of achieving this. You want to bring your people on the growth journey with you. You want to hire and promote the right people. You want to make sure that as an employer you remain competitive and your team now and in the future want to work for you and not your competition.
Your business

Your people are your most valuable asset. The right people and teams support your business move forward, become more agile, and create great partnerships. All of which helps your business to be better, stronger, and more profitable. It makes sense then that you firstly get the right people on board, they are doing the right job and their development is supported. Through a tailored solution service, Edworkation helps you and your business build your growth and change strategies by ensuring your team is the right team.
Our Future
What we do for young people
Edworkation is here to Empower, inspire, support and guide you from looking for a job to sustaining that job. We work with passionate, experienced partners to provide outstanding personal service. No two journeys are the same, so no two guides will be the same. We understand the stress and strains of job hunting for young people and aim to provide you with a professional, engaging and unique experience that takes you from zero to hero.
We recognise that young people are the future change makers, Leaders and innovators but not everyone has the drive or confidence to get there. It’s about having the right conversations with the right people, giving you focus and direction. Helping you understand you better. Giving you the confidence to take full ownership of your success. Don’t do this journey alone, let Edworkation connect you, support you and engage you. Call me and let’s have a chat about how you can really take control of your success.
As featured in the Chelsea Football Club Foundation
Chelsea Foundation’s Edge of the Box Club was launched in 2015 and over the past four years an impressive 4,000 start-ups have come through the programme.
One person who has benefitted from the Edge of the Box Club programme is Cassandra Hamilton who founded Edworkation. With the help of Chelsea Foundation’s programme, the former HR manager set up a business to help young people navigate the challenges of the work place after being made redundant and discovering her passion for helping people at the start of their careers. She said: “I didn’t think my confidence, awareness or knowledge would be this strong. It has helped me build such invaluable links that have helped to really accelerate my business.”
As featured in the Evening Standard
”I always preferred the human side of HR. I interacted with a lot of entry level young people, in their first or second job. I watched how much they would struggle for their goals in their probation, and after I was made redundant in July last year, I was not sure what to do.
