Join our team

This is the beginning.
You can be part of it.

NextGen Education is not a finished organisation looking to hire. It is an initiative taking shape, and the people who join now will define what it becomes.

This is the stage where your ideas do not get filtered through three layers of management. They become the programme.

The vision is set. The platform exists. The first learning journeys are written. What is missing is the team that turns this from a strong start into a European reality.

Why join now

Shape something from the ground up

This is the founding phase. The Erasmus+ partnership is in preparation for 2026. The people who come on board now are not filling positions in someone else’s structure. They are building the structure. Every role listed below has real ownership, real influence, and the chance to shape something from the ground up.

You will work in a small, distributed European team where decisions happen fast and your contribution is visible immediately. If you have ever wanted to be part of something before it becomes an institution, this is that moment.

The team

Built by people who believe children deserve better

The project is driven by two people with complementary strengths and a shared conviction: that children deserve better preparation for the world they are actually growing into.
