For individuals
Cohort coaching
Returners work through their Skills Map and Development Roadmap together, and leave with an Application Package that makes their capability readable again.
03 / Impact · The reason we exist
Bringing overlooked talent, especially women, into the AI-era workforce.
Returnships and re-entry programmes powered by the same Skills Engine, built to scale from cohorts to enterprises to governments.
The case for impact
Structural, not sentimental.
Career breaks make capable people unreadable to hiring systems. The cost lands on them, on employers and on whole economies.
81%
of women who take a caregiving break of five years or more never return through normal channels.
$385bn
a year: the estimated cost of dormant female talent to MENA economies.
45%
fewer callbacks after a career break, regardless of what the person can actually do.

Programme models
Built to scale, from cohort to country.
Every model runs on the Futureproof Skills Engine, so a returner’s real capability is named, evidenced and translated into the language employers read.
For employers
Enterprise returnship pipelines
A structured route back for experienced talent, matched to your roles on evidence rather than on the dates on a CV.
For government
Train-the-trainer models
National programmes aligned with Vision 2030 and Emiratisation, equipping local teams to run re-entry at scale.
For partners
Partner licensing
Bring the engine to your own returner, coaching or workforce programmes under licence.
Why us
Jobs disappear. Skills don't.
Our founder, Dua Al Toobi, is Global Director at Women in AI and spent twelve years leading HR and digital transformation across major GCC organisations.
She has seen, from both rooms, how capable people are lost to systems that cannot read them. Impact is not a side programme for us. It is the reason The Futureproof Advisory exists.
