Break Into Tech Expands Graduate Placement Programme to the United States After Placing Over 629 UK Graduates Into Tech Sales Roles | TechFinancials

Break Into Tech, a career accelerator founded by Milan Gool and Lara Gool, has announced its expansion into the United States after placing over 629 graduates and career changers into tech sales roles and generating more than £4.6 million in combined student salaries in under two years.

The programme targets a growing segment of the UK workforce that traditional career services have failed: recent graduates stuck in jobs unrelated to their degree, call-centre and B2C sales workers earning £22-32k, NHS and care workers, retail and hospitality staff, and professionals in finance or admin roles who know they are capable of more but have no clear route into the tech industry. 99% of students start with zero sales experience. 90% have no tech background. Over 50% do not have a degree.

With over 629 documented success stories and video testimonials on breakintotech.co.uk/proof, and a 4.7-star rating on Trustpilot, Break Into Tech has built what is now one of the most visible proof libraries of any career programme in the UK.

A Market in Crisis, a Sector Still Hiring

The programme’s growth has coincided with a sharp deterioration in the UK job market. According to High Fliers Research, graduate recruitment across Britain’s top employers has fallen 24.5% since 2022, a steeper decline than during both the Covid pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. Adzuna data shows graduate-level vacancies fell 45% year-on-year in July 2026. Official ONS figures confirm that over one million 16-to-24-year-olds are now classified as NEET.

Yet tech sales remains one of the few sectors actively expanding its entry-level pipeline. Students who complete the Break Into Tech programme report landing roles paying £55-85k in their first year, with realistic progression to £100k+ within two years and senior Account Executive roles reaching £150-300k by years three to five.

“The opportunities have not disappeared. They have moved,” said Milan Gool, CEO and co-founder. “Companies like Google, Amazon, Salesforce, and HubSpot are still hiring aggressively for sales talent. The problem is that nobody is telling graduates these roles exist, let alone preparing them to land one.”

How the Programme Works

Break Into Tech operates as a career coaching and placement programme. Students complete an intensive curriculum built around a proprietary AI-powered platform, daily one-to-one mentoring from professionals working at companies like Google, Amazon and Meta, and weekly coaching calls. The programme is designed to fit around a full-time job, requiring roughly 8-10 hours per week in the evenings and weekends.

The average time from enrolment to job offer is 37 days. Students typically secure 6-8 interviews in their first three weeks. Over 80% of roles placed are remote or hybrid. The company has hiring partnerships with over 200 organisations including TikTok, Google, Amazon, Salesforce, HubSpot, PayPal, Stripe, AlphaSense, Square and FlatPay.

On completion, every student receives certification from the Institute of Sales Professionals (ISP), the UK’s chartered body for sales excellence, along with a LinkedIn digital badge and free ISP Affiliate Membership.

The Story That Started It All

Milan Gool is a current Stability AI employee and former Google employee with seven years inside the tech industry. He also co-founded an AI company through Antler, the London-based accelerator that has produced multiple unicorn companies in the UK. It was through hiring for that venture that he saw the gap first-hand: companies desperate for sales talent, graduates desperate for jobs, and nothing connecting the two.

Lara Gool, a former corporate lawyer turned COO, brought the operational discipline to build the programme at scale. Together, they grew Break Into Tech almost entirely through organic content on social media, reaching over 500,000 followers across TikTok, Instagram and YouTube in under two years.

Perhaps no story captures the mission better than Georgia Young, a former hairdresser earning £18,000 a year who joined the accelerator, landed a six-figure tech sales role, and then returned to join the Break Into Tech team. In eight months, she has built a following of over 200,000, proving that the message resonates far beyond the founders.

The US expansion targets the world’s largest tech sales market. With AI continuing to reshape entry-level hiring and the UK government’s own data showing that only 13% of graduate schemes currently include AI training, Break Into Tech sees growing demand for commercially skilled, job-ready candidates on both sides of the Atlantic.

“We have placed over 629 people. We have over 629 proof stories. And we are just getting started,” said Gool. “The goal is one million.”
