Projects that need doing. No budget or bandwidth to hire for them.
You’ve got a backlog, research, a dashboard, a campaign, a compliance review, and hiring for it isn’t worth the cost or the risk. The Industry Partner Programme puts supervised UstackSchool residency teams on your real projects, so the work gets done, and you meet vetted talent you can hire from, before you commit.
Built for early-stage startups, small businesses, non-profits and social projects. No hiring commitment.
Two problems, one programme
A backlog you can’t get to
The research, the dashboard, the campaign, the cleanup, valuable work sits unfinished because a full-time hire isn’t worth the cost, time or risk.
Hiring you can’t afford to get wrong
For a small team, one bad hire is months of salary and momentum gone, and a CV never told you who could actually do the work.
Real capability on a tight budget
Charities and social projects need the work delivered and the impact evidenced, without a full-time salary attached to it.
