📩 Bye (for now)

Hey there,

Thank you for being a part of Equal Opportunity in 2024! Your support and engagement mean the world to us. We’ll officially resume on 19 January 2025.

There’s so much to look forward to in 2025.

By popular demand, we’re excited to announce plans for a new and improved website. It will have all the necessary tools to boost your employability and help you secure that dream placement. It will also be free, forever.

However, due to limited funding, it will have to be released in stages.

We’re currently exploring ways to raise money, with reader donations being the simplest option. This would ensure the quickest turnaround whilst keeping the platform community driven. It will be built by the people, for the people.

We’d love to hear your thoughts on this, so please vote in the poll below.

Wishing you Happy Holidays and a fantastic New Year ahead!
