Open Your Doors 2025 — see what happened when 1,150 young people walked through the door

What is Open Your Doors
One day inside the career you’ve been searching for.
On 18 September 2026, employers across the UK open their doors. You walk in prepared, confident, and matched to an organisation that fits your goals. No connections needed. No experience required. Just you.
If nobody in your network works in the career you want — this was built for you.
And it’s completely free.
B2B Invisibility
If you’re B2B,
you’re invisible
Tell us your career interests, your sector, your location. We match you to an employer that fits — not a random company that had a spare slot.
You’ll arrive prepared, not nervous
Before you walk through the door, we brief you on the company, coach you on the culture, and make sure you know what to expect. You’ll feel ready.
Real access to real employers
This isn’t a careers fair with a table and some leaflets. You’re inside their office, meeting their people, seeing what the work actually looks like.
How It Works
Four steps between you and your future career.
Step 1: Register
Quick initial sign-up — takes 5 minutes. We’ll then ask about your career interests, goals, and location so we can find the right fit.
Step 2: We Review & Shortlist
Over the summer, we review applications and shortlist participants. The earlier you register, the stronger your chances.
Step 3: Get Matched & Prepared
From August, we match you to an employer and prepare you for the day — briefing you on the company, the culture, and what to expect.
