Idea

Introduction

A booming self-development sector combined with accelerated uptake in e-learning during the pandemic leaves the path clear for a career development platform that brings together professionals, experts, curated content and a thriving community all in one place.

Career Masterclass’ mission is to become the one-stop career development platform working to level the playing field for professionals from under-represented or under-served groups by preparing them for the opportunities that exist today and the ones that will arise in the future.

With a burgeoning recognition amongst 57% of leaders that soft skills are more important than technical skills, Career Masterclass focuses on equipping professionals with a range of soft skills such as communication, negotiation, personal branding and leadership.

Our experience-based approach to learning leverages the lived experiences of seasoned professionals who have built successful careers and overcome challenges in the workplace.

Monetisation strategy

With the Learning and Development market currently worth over £40bn in the UK and $83bn in the US, there is huge potential for increased share. Career Masterclass is already generating revenue through our consumer and enterprise subscription model and its growth has been organic to date. Moving forward the drive to monetisation is:

Phase 1

- B2B - Platform subscriptions, accelerator programs, mentoring matching services and leadership training. (UK & Africa 2021, US 2022)

- B2C - Subscription UK and Africa 2021 & US 2022

- STRETCH conference 2022, we see this as the biggest one yet for revenue and lead generation.

Phase 2 Q2/3 2022

- B2B & B2C Recruitment, STRETCH conference held in the USA and Africa

- B2C Marketplace vetted professionals offering complementary career-related services such as CV reviews, career coaching and professional photography.
