One Licence. Unlimited Learners. Measurable Impact.

We support our partners through a Partnership Licence that enables unlimited learners to access Freelancer Club’s online courses, resources and practical tools. This gives learners the ability to build real freelance capability, collaborate and skill-swap with peers, promote their services, and access paid work opportunities — all within one platform.

Alongside delivery, our Analytics and Reporting tool provides real-time insight into learner engagement, activity and employment status. Partners can track participation, progression and outcomes through clear, exportable data that directly supports key KPIs such as student engagement, sustained destinations and graduate outcomes.

Programmes & Workshops That Deliver Graduate Outcomes

We deliver proven, off-the-shelf freelance programmes that universities can deploy quickly to support students and graduates exploring self-employment and portfolio careers. From early exploration through to post-graduation outcomes, our programmes cover the full journey — including the Discovery, Pilot, Growing Freelancer, and Graduate Outcomes programmes — combining expert-led training, coaching, peer support and practical tools. Each is designed to be low-lift for institutions while generating meaningful insight, strong engagement and clear evidence of impact.

Alongside programmes, we run targeted workshops for students, graduates and staff covering business essentials, mindset and core skills — from branding, marketing, pricing and client acquisition to resilience, neurodiversity, networking and AI for freelancers. Together, our programmes and workshops help universities improve student confidence, support sustained destinations, and strengthen graduate outcomes, while providing robust data and case studies that demonstrate the value of freelance provision at scale.

Nurturing The Next Generation

Hear how we've helped student side-hustlers to flourish as freelancers

Tony Orme

"Matt did a session for us, informing students that were interested in “going solo” about what it is like to be a freelancer and what support Freelancer Club can offer such students and graduates. Matt presented in a way that resonated with the specific audience and gave a realistic picture of freelance life – an invaluable insight for our students."

“Thank you for the fantastic content of this course [Freelance Business School]. I've learnt so much and the course material will be forever useful, particularly the contracts! It is great to know that there's so much support around for freelancers from experts. It felt very much like a little community and I am extremely grateful.”

"Based on the university’s Graduate Outcomes Survey data, there was a huge jump in the number of students registered as professional freelancers. The Freelancer Club programme makes up most of our engaged audience… so kudos for all of your hard work!"

“The talk on freelancing cleared up a lot of confusion for me. I knew I wanted to earn from my skills but didn’t know how to do it or where to start. Off the back of this session, I have started building a website to showcase my portfolio and dedicated time to a marketing strategy that will kick start my freelance career.”
