About Handson

Making the first step into work clearer for young people in Mozambique

Handson is an early-career talent platform. We help students and young graduates present their education, skills and experience professionally, and we are building the tools that connect them with internships, traineeships and first jobs.

Why we exist

Talent is everywhere. Access to opportunity is not.

Every year, thousands of young people in Mozambique finish university, polytechnic and vocational programmes ready to work. Many struggle to show employers what they can do, and many employers struggle to find early-career talent beyond their existing networks.

Handson starts with the student. A complete, well-structured professional profile is the foundation for every application, interview and placement that follows. From there, we will connect students with the organisations and programmes looking for them.

What guides us

Our principles

01

Students first

We design every feature around the needs of young people starting their careers.

02

Every pathway counts

University, polytechnic and TVET qualifications all deserve to be presented with equal care.

03

Privacy by default

Profiles and documents stay private. Students decide if and when employers can see them.
