About us

Helping every school leaver find their direction.

We built RooKi because starting your career shouldn't depend on who you know or where you went to school.

Mission

Career clarity for every Australian school leaver.

RooKi exists to close the gap between finishing school and starting a real career. We give young Australians the tools, guidance and connections they need to take their first step — free, always.

The problem

79% of school leavers have no trusted adult to ask.

Career advisors are stretched thin. Recruitment agencies charge thousands. Job boards weren't built for people with no work history. School leavers are left guessing — and too many end up in the wrong role, or no role at all.

Founder story

Built from lived experience.

RooKi was founded by Australians who remember the uncertainty of leaving school without a clear plan. We saw talented young people overlooked because they couldn't present their potential — and employers struggling to find motivated entry-level talent. RooKi connects both sides.

Team

A small team with a big mission.

We're based in Australia and building for Australian school leavers first.

Employer Partnerships

Training & Education

Values

What we stand for.

Free for students, always

Career discovery shouldn't cost money. Every student tool on RooKi is and will remain free.

Built for starters

We design for people with no work history — not corporate job seekers with ten years of experience.

Verified & real

Every employer is verified. Every job listing is reviewed. No ghost jobs, no scams.

Long-term growth

Your RooKi profile grows with your career — it's not a one-off resume dump.
