Career Invest is an enterprise and personal development company on a mission to empower 3,000 individuals by 2030. We believe that soft skills, personal branding, and visibility are the game-changers for career and business success, especially for women, ethnic minorities, and early-stage entrepreneurs.

Why It Matters

The statistics speak for themselves:

Ethnic minority graduates in the UK face lower employment rates (62.8% vs. 75.6% for white graduates).

Only 4.7% of top UK leadership roles are held by ethnic minorities.
Confidence and soft skills gaps cost the UK economy £24 billion a year.
60% of UK small businesses fail within the first three years due to lack of business skills and visibility.
Women and minority entrepreneurs receive significantly less funding and mentorship than their counterparts.
Black-owned businesses contribute £25 billion to the UK economy but face more barriers to scaling.
