As students face rising costs and an uncertain job market, they’re asking for real-world skills, support, and guidance – and we deliver. Earniversity gives young people the tools to earn, build confidence, and shape brighter futures – for themselves, their families, their communities, and the economy as a whole.

Current Statistics\* as of 2024 indicate that: - 47% of UK adults have a side hustle alongside their primary employment – it was only 10% in 2017. - New research reveals 7 in 10 young people have multiple income streams. - 68% of those aged 16 to 34 are managing multiple income streams. - The primary drivers include coping with the rising cost of living (35%) and managing increasing household bills (34%). - On average, individuals with side hustles earn an additional £780 per month, equating to approximately £9,360 annually.  \* [*Stats courtesy of Sage.com*](https://www.sage.com/en-gb/company/digital-newsroom/2024/06/04/nation-of-shopkeepers-is-now-nation-of-side-hustles/) These figures underscore a growing trend of UK residents seeking supplementary income sources to navigate economic challenges... And this is why we do what we do :) [Book a meeting](https://meetings-eu1.hubspot.com/dene-botha) ![Collage scene 2_01471](https://www.earniversity.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Collage%20scene%202_01471.png?width=2500&height=1080&name=Collage%20scene%202_01471.png) Why partner with us? ## Kick-starting the Economy - **Boosts Local Enterprise & Employability:** By teaching young people how to earn, build businesses, and develop practical skills, we support local economic growth from the ground up. - **Reduces NEET Risk:** Earniversity equips young people with real-world skills, income opportunities, and purpose – supporting long-term engagement in work, training, or education. - **Supports Local Priorities:** Programmes align with council goals around employability, inclusion, and community regeneration.
