Our Programmes
In 2021 we ran programmes for several employer groups, including the NHS, social care employers, third-sector, Biotech/HealthTech, STEM and life-sciences and saw exceptionally high completion rates on our programmes, with our young people and adults committed to personal and professional development and success.

The benefits to our candidates
Our young people and adults tell us that without our support they would not have the confidence, the opportunities and skills development that our programmes and placements provide.
Alumni of our programmes are now working as professionals in roles across the UK and internationally. Their job titles include Dental Nurse, Associate Directors, Data Analyst, Healthcare Assistant, Adult Nurse, Pharmacy Assistant, Crisis Support Worker, Porters, Doctor, Occupational Therapist, Paramedic, Programme Manager and many more.
Hear from our Alumni
For as long as I could remember I have wanted to be a midwife so your support to understand what they do and how to become one is really important. I think that a project like this is needed because so many people don’t know what jobs are really in the NHS and so don’t see it as a job option but I think that it would encourage a new generation of NHS workers.

The benefits to communities
Our young people and adults are more likely to be ‘furthest from the labour market’, after taking part in our programmes they are more likely to believe that they can succeed in education, employment and training.
Working with partners in local communities we empower local people to fulfil their potential. Which improves not just their own lives, but that of their families, neighbours and wider local community.
