Farhoon Asim – Founder of The UK Job Institute
Thur, Oct 30
Free Workshop
I came to the UK in 2016 with big dreams and no connections. After more than 300 job rejections, I finally landed my first role at KPMG. Later, I led growth at a fintech startup, helping scale revenue from £6 million to £20 million ARR.
In 2023, I took a £7,000 personal loan and launched a paid community for international students. Within twelve months, we generated $1.1 million in revenue, guided over 150 students into UK-sponsored jobs, and reached more than 6 million learners online.
In 2025, I founded The UK Job Institute — a structured, affordable training platform built by international students, for international students. My goal is to help 1,000 graduates secure UK-sponsored roles by the end of 2026.
I share my story because I know what it feels like to start with nothing. Borders are not stop signs — they’re just speed bumps.
