Problem
Many young people, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, lack access to meaningful work experience opportunities, hindering their ability to explore career paths and build professional networks. Traditional work experience placements can be lengthy and difficult for employers to manage, limiting the number of opportunities available.
Solution
Not Impossible provides a platform that connects employers with local 16-25 year olds for short-term "microplacements," ranging from one hour to one day. These microplacements allow young people to explore various career options, gain practical experience, and build connections with professionals in their fields of interest. The platform uses a smart-match algorithm to connect young people with employers based on their skills and interests, streamlining the process for both parties. By simplifying the logistics and time commitment required for work experience, Not Impossible aims to increase the number of opportunities available to young people, particularly those who lack established professional networks.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes employers seeking to build diverse talent pipelines and support their local communities, as well as educators aiming to improve career opportunities for their students, and less advantaged 16–25-year-olds.
