Our story
We want to break the information and network barrers
Career26 was founded by Oxford and Kent graduates. We are passionate about education quality and want to break the information and network barrers in career education. Having personally experienced these challenges when finding a graduate role, we deeply understand the struggles that students face!
Prior to Career26, we ran a non-profit organisation called BestFit Consulting for over two years, helping over 100 students land jobs in the UK. The success from that venture inspired us to launch Career26 to create a larger impact.
Career26 is a self-funded project to ensure that our commitment to educational quality is at the forefront of our mission.
We welcome support and collaboration from individuals and institutions that share our vision!
