Social mobility is not just about access to university and yet existing social mobility programmes often focus on this, which means there are few options available to those who struggled in the traditional education system.


Without qualifications, thousands of talented young adults never have the opportunity to make the most of their potential. GoodWork is changing this.


In this episode of university, challenged, GoodWork's founder, Felicity Halstead, shares how her organisation aims to address the gap that exists and open up access to professional careers through a combination of early careers training for young people, advisory for organisations on how to rethink their talent strategy, and advocacy designed to create system-level change.


Felicity also talks about how her own experience of university helped her understand why it really doesn't suit everyone and shouldn't be held up as the only route to career success.
