Field Ready are the employability experts

There is a skills gap amongst young people leaving education and starting employment. This makes it difficult for companies to find local entry-level talent with the right skills and behaviours. 

We solve this problem by finding and training young people to be ready for employment. 

We operate in Mozambique, Ghana, Cote d’Ivoire, Nigeria and the UK, and are expanding internationally across Sub-Saharan Africa.

Field Ready are specialised in finding highly capable and enthusiastic entry-level employees. Once we have found those people, we ‘bridge the gap’ by training them with the skills they need to thrive in employment. We do this in two ways:

• National Employability Platforms – free online training and resources to help young people improve their employability at scale.
• Face-to-face employability training – intensive training programmes designed to equip young people with the skills, knowledge, and behaviours needed to thrive in their careers – we have a 90% employment rate within 6 months.

We place those young people into jobs or internships at partner companies, and we train managers at partner companies to be great coaches of junior staff.

We work with over 200 companies, which are some of the largest and fastest growing businesses on the continent.

In each country we are backed by an Alliance of government, industry, and education that work towards the common goal of improving youth employability.

Where possible we deliver our programmes within state education institutions, where we build the capacity of instructors. All our programmes are delivered under license by local organisations.
