A Billion Brains Are Better Than One
WHO WEARE Wozedu is an innovative new social network that gives young people the knowledge and tools they need to determine their future. Wozedu connects users to each other and to relevant educational and career opportunities.
WOZEDU HELPS YOUNG PEOPLE IN TWO VITAL WAYS:
• It provides them with access to a wide array of opportunities that are uniquely tailored to their specific interests, skills, and experiences.
• It allows them to connect with like-minded individuals and key institutions, facilitating a global exchange of ideas and demystifying the job application process.
WHAT DO PEOPLE NEED? Despite a wealth of social media, there is currently a lack of resources and communication in the personal development sector. By centralising information and incorporating the most up-to-date social networking tools, Wozedu bridges the gap to facilitate multi-level interaction among employers, educators, and young people. The aim is to disperse the informational fog surrounding careers for 14-25 year olds, and to make planning one’s personal development an easy and enjoyable process. Here at Wozedu, we passionately believe in widening access to education and career opportunities for the young people of today by providing a space to ask the questions that are meaningful to them.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
Educational institutions, employers, and young people alike need an easy and effective way to make connections and inform their decision making processes.
WHY WOZEDU IS DIFFERENT Defying conventional approaches, Wozedu sees personal development as more than just a singular trajectory of education followed by work.
Wozedu therefore provides a vast range of opportunities, including higher education, vocational programmes, and trainee schemes. It also publishes news and lifestyle features that are relevant to everyone from sixth form to school leavers to university students and beyond.
Wozedu operates a truly revolutionary approach by engaging users’ profile information – education and work history, interests and skills, and information on how they use the site – in order to recommend articles and advice written by their peers, as well as educational and employment opportunities that are specifically tailored to them.
