Membership FAQs

Does membership guarantee a job?

No — but it strengthens your skills, preparation, network and access to opportunities.

1. Do I need to be unemployed?

No. We support young people at every stage.

2. Do I have to live in Reading?

We’re starting in Reading and Berkshire. Some face-to-face activity puts local members first; digital opportunities reach further.

3. Does Achiever guarantee a mentor?

No. Mentoring depends on availability and the right match.

4. I’m under 18. Can I join?

Yes, from 16, with a parent or guardian’s consent.

5. Is there a JobHub place for me?

JobHub runs 13-week cohorts of 20 in 2027. Places are limited — we confirm yours when you register.

6. Will you ask about my progress?

Only if you agree — when you join, at week 13 and 90 days into an opportunity. Our Privacy Policy explains how.

Can I volunteer as well?

Yes.

We hope members will give back one day — as volunteers, mentors and ambassadors.
