About Divers
Divers develops innovative solutions to one of today’s biggest paradoxes: while the labor market faces a shortage of skilled workers, deeply rooted structures and cultural norms prevent individuals from reaching their full potential. We approach this challenge with a 360-degree perspective, addressing every stage of the journey – from educational choices and admissions to the transition into studies, high-quality apprenticeships, workplace retention, and long-term well-being.
Our goal is to bridge the gap between vocational education and employment and to create opportunities for marginalized youth and gender minorities.
We work to reshape the narrative around vocational education and skilled professions, restoring the prestige that these fields and their workers rightfully deserve. We create unique, empowering youth communities where peers support each other, celebrate their skills, and take pride in their achievements. We cultivate role models who inspire future generations -challenging gender stereotypes and dismantling the outdated narrative that has, for decades, relegated vocational education to an unwanted “backup plan” for young people.
Divers has been recognized with awards for breaking down systemic barriers and promoting equality and diversity across key industries, companies, and vocational schools. Our impact is measurable, with concrete results in enrollment rates, apprenticeship placements, completed qualifications, and job opportunities. But beyond the numbers, our true impact lies in every young person who breaks free from limiting norms, discovers their path, and finds pride, purpose, and the power to create value for themselves and their communities.
