At Grassroots To Work, we believe every young person deserves access to meaningful work experience and career guidance—regardless of background or circumstance.

Our Future-Ready Work Experience Program prepares high school students for the world of work through real business projects, employer engagement, and structured reflection. Grounded in experiential learning and scaffolded support, students build functioning knowledge, essential soft skills, and professional behaviours often missing from traditional education.

We embed a spiral curriculum approach—reinforcing key skills each week at deeper levels—and uncover the hidden curriculum: communication, feedback, initiative, and workplace professionalism.

By connecting students with employers, mentors, and peers worldwide, we’re creating a new standard in youth career readiness—equitable, impactful, and future-focused.
