What We Do
RightSource was established to enhance fairness and inclusivity in access to technology careers. As a not-for-profit Community Interest Company, we reinvest all surplus funds into providing free and subsidized coaching, mentoring, and training for individuals facing obstacles to employment and advancement.
Our Community Mission
As a Community Interest Company, we aim to widen access to career opportunities for people who are underrepresented or disadvantaged. We work with individuals who have the potential to succeed but lack access to the guidance, confidence, networks or training required to move forward. All surplus generated through our work is reinvested into free and subsidised community programmes.
Who we support
Our programmes are designed to support individuals who face barriers to entering or progressing within the technology industry, including:
-
Young people not in education, employment or training (NEET)
-
Unemployed adults seeking to retrain or return to work
-
Women facing disadvantage or barriers to progression
-
Ethnically minoritised communities
-
Refugees and migrants
-
Individuals experiencing low confidence or mental health challenges
What we deliver
-
Coaching & Mentoring: Personalised one-to-one and group coaching to build confidence, clarify career direction and support progression into technology-focused roles. Guidance on career pathways, CV development, interview preparation, workplace readiness and progression planning.
-
Professional Training: Practical, industry-relevant training designed to develop digital skills, employability and readiness for roles in the technology sector.
How our Programmes are funded
Our community programmes are delivered through a mix of:
-
Grant funding
-
Partnerships with public sector and community organisations
-
Income from paid coaching and training services delivered to organisations and individuals
This blended approach allows us to provide high-quality support at little or no cost to participants.
