Two expertises, one mission: close the experience gap.
The Experience Gap CIC exists because 14–25s have more to offer than they know how to say. We were founded as a partnership between a career coaching business and a travel tour operation expert — combining how to live experience with how to communicate it.
The problem we solve
Young people leave school or university with experience — volunteering, sport, travel, work — but often can't translate it into the language employers recognise. Meanwhile institutions run trips that could generate far richer CV material if designed with outcomes in mind.
We close both gaps: helping individuals communicate who they are, and helping institutions design experiences worth talking about.
Real experience
We believe lived experience — not just qualifications — makes people employable and interesting.
Genuine confidence
Confidence comes from being able to talk about what you've done.
Standing out
In a crowded job market, the ability to evidence and articulate experience is the difference that wins.
A Community Interest Company
As a CIC, our surplus is reinvested into broadening access for young people who need it most — not extracted as profit.
