Why Organizations Are Making This Shift Now
Workforce Potential is Blocked at Scale
70% of employees feel unprepared for future of work (WEF)
1:1 coaching costs €200-500/hour but only reaches 20% of talent
Traditional models can't adapt fast enough to market changes
You Need Something Different
Your organization needs career guidance that's:
Always available (not by appointment)
Personalized (not templated)
Cost-effective (not €500K/year consulting)
Deployable fast (not 6-month implementations)
That's what Waiheke delivers.

Real Impact Across Sectors
Three examples of Waiheke in action—different problems, different organizations, same proven approach.
Scaling Career Guidance for Professionals in Transition
Orange Digital Center delivers multi-week reskilling programs in digital competencies. The challenge: how to deliver personalized career counseling at scale when human facilitation capacity is finite.
AI Vocational Guidance for Romanian High School Students
Thousands of Romanian teenagers navigate critical education and career decisions without quality guidance. Family networks determine opportunity; traditional school counseling is underfunded; premium vocational coaching remains inaccessible to most.
Digital Entrepreneurship Education for Young Romanian Farmers
Romanian Farmers' Club launched a business mentorship program for young farmers as agriculture faces pressure to modernize. Challenge: traditional face-to-face mentoring doesn't scale across dispersed rural regions.
