When I was a teenager I was half decent at coding html but because of my age I was never able to get work. So I vowed to help people in that situation whenever I got work. Now I've got work I'd like to do it, so I've been thinking of ways to help.

 

I've decided I'd like to act as an agency where I'd directly connect businesses to young developers. The type of work would be odd bits of freelance work they could do at the weekend or evenings.

 

This would benefit the company because:

• They wouldn't need to spend time/ resources finding a developer
• Since the type of work would be mostly front-end the cost would be low

And it would benefit the young developer because:

• They would have a connection that could lead to full-time work
• They would be fast tracked to companies who won't discriminate them because of their age
• They would have something decent to put on their CV

My company and myself have connections from startups to global brands. My colleagues are also very well connected and are up for helping.

 

What I'm looking for here is some feedback and, if you're a developer in London, people to help us out.

 

We're based near Oxford Circus. If you're interested we can organize a meetup.

Good luck mate. I do try and use developers studying at uni for bits and bobs although nothing time critical, beats them flipping burgers and is directly related to their course. It's some experience and I can work reference them when they apply for a job after getting their degree.
