The mission of Adulting Co
The mission of Adulting Co
We bridge the gap between tertiary education and the 'real world' of work
A complex journey which includes navigating:
Many young people - especially first-generation professionals - lack intergenerational knowledge
or guidance on navigating work environments.
They are figuring it out alone, often under immense pressure.
Impacts if left unaddressed
Stress, anxiety, burnout from navigating alone
Poor financial decisions affecting long-term stability
Career stagnation and workplace conflict from misunderstanding workplace norms
Higher turnover and attrition costs
Lower productivity and engagement when struggling employees underperform
Strain on management capacity
Loss of diversity gains when 1st-gen professionals drop out
Skills gap widens if talent isn’t retained
Intergenerational inequality persists without knowledge transfer
Long-term underemployment if a generation is unprepared
Who we work with
Corporates & Small businesses
Grad programmes
NPOs & Bursary managers
Tertiary institutions
We Support grads and young professionals with the life skills, EQ, daily practices &
support structures they need to thrive.
Our Story
Dylan Campbell founded Adulting Co to meet a need that he and many young people experience, but few organisations address: how to navigate adult life after graduation.
After many years of mentoring young people and designing learning experiences, Dylan saw a clear pattern - many high potential youth struggle under severe pressue, not because they lack ability, but because they lack the knowledge and support.
Adulting Co was created to change that.
Meet the founder
Dylan Campbell is passionate about helping young people navigate adult life with confidence. With over 10 years of experience in the youth development and self-leadership space, he has facilitated programmes focused on self-mastery, stress elimination and youth leadership.
Dylan’s career has taken him across EdTech startups, corporate, NPOs and freelance work. He has also co-founded a successful business - giving him firsthand insight into the diverse environments young professionals must learn to navigate.
Why Dylan founded Adulting Co
Having faced many of the same challenges himself, Dylan sought to support the next generation through one of life’s biggest transitions. His mission is to equip young people with the tools to manage complexity, understand themselves, and grow with confidence - both personally and professionally.
