FIXING THE TALENT PIPELINE

Nearly half of university graduates say their degrees didn’t prepare them for the jobs they’re in. Yet businesses keep hiring from the same talent pool — same resumes, same degrees — hoping one of them might be the perfect fit. They rarely are.

Because the perfect fit isn't found. It's forged.

It means finding raw talent, sharpening their thinking, and shaping them into someone built exactly for your business.

Odyssey Academy was created to help companies meet the most ambitious young people. We teach them what your business actually needs, and you get to shape who they become.

This is how you close the talent gap — and how you get ahead of everyone else.

"Recruiting graduates is a lottery. Some turn out great, some are not at all what you need. So actually being able to train people in skills that you’re going to need in an environment that they’re going to get used to, it’s a double benefit in many regards."

Why is this better than hiring a graduate?
icon

Universities and other institutions move slow. Their curriculums are often outdated, designed by academics, not operators. Even the “modern” ones lag behind real industry needs. Odyssey courses are designed by the people shaping the future of work. Real experts. So you’re getting Talent trained in what actually matters today and tomorrow.

What if it’s not the right fit?
icon

If there's any misalignment with mission or culture, we’ll make a clean swap. That Talent returns to the Odyssey pool (which is so competitive they’ll be snatched up fast), and we’ll match you with someone new.

What happens after two years?
icon

You decide. They'll have grown inside your business and shaped their skills around your way of working. If you want to keep them — great. If not, they graduate with a degree and options.

How many Talents can we bring on?
icon

As many as you can nurture. Odyssey works best when Talent is embedded in real teams, with mentors to learn from and projects to deliver.

Do they only study one course?
icon

Yes — and that focus is a feature. Each Talent completes a Master’s-level program accredited by Woolf University, focused on a specific area like Venture Design, AI, or Brand Strategy. Every course is shaped by real business needs, and updated every year.

Our mission is to unlock young potential and redefine how futures are made in the industry.
