WE ARE A LIFE-CHANGING CHARITY

LTSB is a social mobility charity that prepares and supports bright young people from disadvantaged backgrounds into meaningful roles with major firms. We make sure those at risk of under-employment find careers equal to their ambition and ability, and can contribute from their first day on the job.

Through our employability programmes, we provide young people with personal and professional development to prepare them for the world of work before we look to place them in apprenticeships and full-time roles with leading employers across the UK. We work with employers in a range of sectors including accountancy & finance, digital technology, customer service, law and marketing.

RECRUITMENT

Through community outreach and locally developed networks, we find talent that is often overlooked. Our intensive recruitment process, conducted by knowledgeable youth workers identifies young people who have faced disadvantage, and gives them the language to describe their future.
