Startingpoint

A brilliant couple of days at Connected Britain! 🙌

A big thank you to ImpactMatch and Connected Britain for giving Startingpoint such a fantastic platform over the two days.

We’ve had some brilliant conversations with people and organisations who are actively working to make their industries more inclusive, create better opportunities and rethink how they connect with talent 💡

It was great to be part of those conversations, share what we’re building at Startingpoint and meet so many people who are equally passionate about helping individuals realise their potential.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by, said hello or joined us for a conversation! 👏

🎤 Tom and Matt will be taking to the stage at 1:50pm as keynote speakers in the People, Skills & Recruitment Zone with their session: Personality: the new currency 👏

They’ll be discussing why skills, personality and individuality matter in recruitment, and how Startingpoint helps people showcase more of who they are and what they can bring to an opportunity.

If you’re at , come along and hear what they have to say 👋

We're back at for day two 👋

Today, Tom and Matt are talking about a big idea: “Personality is the new currency.”

Qualifications and experience matter, but they don’t always tell the whole story. Skills, values, interests, motivations and personality all help show what someone could bring to an organisation.

That’s where Startingpoint comes in. By giving people a way to evidence their skills and showcase their true, authentic selves, we can help employers see the person and potential behind the application 💡

If you’re at Connected Britain today, come and find us on the ImpactMatch stand and join the conversation!

A huge congratulations to everyone receiving their A-level results! 🎉👏

Today is a brilliant opportunity to celebrate the hard work, commitment and determination that got you here – whatever your results and whatever comes next.

But remember, your qualifications are only one part of your story 💡

Employers also want to understand the skills you’ve developed along the way, from teamwork and communication to resilience, creativity and problem-solving. Being able to evidence those skills through real experiences can help you show what you’re truly capable of.

That’s exactly what Startingpoint is all about: helping young people showcase their achievements, skills and potential beyond grades alone 🚀

Congratulations, Class of 2026! 🙌

Through Startingpoint, learners can build dynamic, evidence-based profiles that showcase their skills, experiences and potential, helping them prepare for future opportunities beyond the classroom.

A brilliant step towards making employability more visible, measurable and meaningful for every learner 💡

The government has announced a £4bn investment to reform SEND support, with a clear message: no more 'one size fits all' education.

With funding for earlier intervention, specialist support in every area and enhanced teacher training, inclusion is being positioned as core, not optional 👏

For schools and colleges, this is about timely support, local expertise and helping every learner thrive 💡

At Startingpoint, we believe visibility matters too. When strengths, progress and support needs are clearly evidenced, decisions become fairer and more informed.

A big step for inclusion. The real impact will be in how it’s embedded day to day.
