The Talent Foundry (TTF) is an independent education charity offering fully-funded opportunities to secondary schools and colleges across the UK. Their mission is to increase social mobility by helping young people from disadvantaged backgrounds discover what they are amazing at, develop valuable new employment skills and take that first step into the world of work. TTF run a number of bespoke programmes with a range of corporate partners across different sectors. All their programmes aim to help young people develop confidence and self-belief but also include a more explicit focus on skills development. A number of TTF programmes also focus on the development of sector or industry specific attributes.
