We Do the Heavy Lifting
No extra workload for your team. We handle strategy, delivery, and distribution—so your employer brand gets in front of millions without bogging down your calendar.
Audience + Reach

12 Months. Zero Hassle. Maximum Impact. Want students to actually remember your brand? That’s what we do. Our year-long program keeps you front and center—without piling on work for your team.

Employee Interview
Employee interviews bring your workplace to life. They give students and career advisors an inside look at real roles, real people, and what it’s actually like to work at your organisation—no corporate fluff, just the real story.
Jobs
Don’t Post and Hope. Get Seen.We send your roles straight into schools—targeted, direct, and on point.
Events & Webinars
Show up where it counts—
no stress, all impact.
Connect with students, teachers, parents, and career advisors at job fairs, school tours, and lunch-and-learns—online or in person. We handle all the logistics so you just show up and shine.

Gen Z Doesn’t Wait. Why Are You?
The Reality
Most employers are flying blind when it comes to Gen Z. They’re not in schools. They’re not speaking the right language. They’re getting left behind.
Explore Careers Changes That.
We give you the platform, the message, and the momentum to show up where it counts — inside schools, in front of students, and ahead of your competition. No more guesswork. No more missed opportunities.
You only get one chance to make a first impression with Gen Z.
We make sure it counts!

Explore Careers gets your brand in front of students—early, directly, and where decisions are made.
78%
Higher Application Rates
Seven in ten school students say they’re more likely to apply for jobs at companies they connected with during school. Early engagement builds real application intent.
Explore Careers connects you before they hit the job market.
83%
Higher Retention of Young Talent

Explore Careers helps you make that early connection—so when they join you, they stay.
80%
Word-of-Mouth Impact:
Positive experiences spread fast—80% of students will talk about them. That chatter defines your brand while future talent is still deciding who they see themselves with.
Explore Careers turns student engagement into real influence that spreads.
Become a partner
Instant access. Total coverage. Zero legwork
We cap the number of organisations we work with to ensure every partner gets the spotlight they deserve.
Opportunities to join are limited — and in high demand. If you're looking to lead the conversation with students and schools,
now is the time to act. Once we're full, we're full.
Important: Gen Z doesn’t respond to cold job ads — they respond to brands they believe in.
We help you show up early, build relevance, and earn their attention before you ask them to apply.

CEOs: Make School Engagement Top Priority.
Why are CEOs stepping into schools?
Because waiting isn’t a winning strategy.
The smartest companies aren’t chasing talent—they’re growing it.
Getting in early means shaping minds, building trust, and making career paths real before students even hit the job market.
ExploreCareers isn’t just a platform. It’s a pipeline.
Direct access to future thinkers, builders, and leaders—before anyone else gets a shot.
This is how future-proofing looks.
Show up early. Show them what’s possible. And they’ll show up for you.
Why ExploreCareers?
Because it works. Proven results. Real connections. It saves us time, money, and puts our brand in front of the people we want—and need.
“Top talent doesn’t wait — and neither can we. Reaching students early lets us build real relationships and stand out as the employer they want to choose.”
Andrea Scown
CEO, Mitre 10
“We don’t wait for talent to come to us — we go to where it starts. That’s how we stay ahead.”

“The fight for talent starts sooner than most think. By showing up in schools, we position ourselves as a name students already know — and want to work for.”
