About Us | Nexties

Helping young people shape their future selves

Our Purpose

We believe that the journey from school to life beyond should be one of curiosity, courage, and possibility—not confusion or compromise. Nexties transforms this uncertain chapter into an empowering, inspiring experience.

Our vision is to become the most trusted guide for young people shaping their future selves. We see a world where every learner has access to personalised support, inspiring options, and real-world opportunities that reflect who they are and what truly matters to them.

Why We Created Nexties

Too many young people are making life-shaping decisions based on guesswork or lack of access. We’re here to change that. Nexties helps learners understand themselves better, explore what’s possible, and take confident steps forward in ways that feel true to them. Our goal is to replace overwhelm with agency, and surface opportunities that feel meaningful, not just available.

We're not just a directory, we're a discovery engine—helping learners uncover exciting, tailored pathways they didn’t even know existed.

Deeply Personalised

Using advanced AI, Nexties understands each learner’s unique story, providing tailored guidance and relevant recommendations.

Actionable and Real-World

We turn inspiration into action, guiding learners towards tangible steps and meaningful outcomes.

Equity at the Core

We’re dedicated to levelling the playing field, ensuring every learner, regardless of background, has equal access to opportunities.
