The SDC supported over 1000 young people.
Claudine then founded a company called CareerEar, a site empowering people to make informed career choices. The platform features the UK’s first Q&A careers advice service allowing career-seekers (first time or career changers) to ask career-related questions to industry professionals directly. CareerEar, recognised in the Social Entrepreneur Index 2020 for the second year in a row, is also on a mission to help people to discover career paths and upskill with the support of Nesta and The Dept for Education. Claudine is particularly keen to ensure that people are prepared for the future of work. Claudine now runs CareerEar part-time and is part-time in-house counsel for an AgTech startup called Wefarm.
