We don’t just help young people to be more employable, we get them into life-changing, career-focussed employment.
Since 2012, we’ve placed 1250 young people from disadvantaged backgrounds into entry-level roles and apprenticeships with leading employers who are committed to creating fairer access to people from all backgrounds.
Watch our new video and hear from our young people and employer partners about why they value LTSB.
We have a 4-step approach, designed to give both young people and employers the best possible chance of success.
1. Promotion
We find able and ambitious candidates from disadvantaged backgrounds, checking eligibility with measures such as Free School Meal eligibility and the Index of Multiple Deprivation.
2. Preparation
Our curriculums are tailored to the sectors we work in, and includes material covering employability skills and critical thinking sessions, with insight days and exposure to a range of corporate settings.
3. Placement
Upon completion of programme, our team place young people into entry-level roles and apprenticeships with our network of employer partners.
3. Pastoral Support
We provide pastoral support to both employee and employer for 6 to 12 months to ensure the best chance of retention and success.
Our employers benefit too
Hear from some of our partners about why they choose to work with LTSB.
“We’re proud of our long-standing partnership with LTSB. It just really ties in with our values, but is also a central part of our recruitment strategy. Recognising and celebrating our diverse employees helps us to recruit and retain talent, and drives better business performance. Great employees like our apprentice Agnes really make the business case that goes with the moral case, and here at RSM we’re happy to champion initiatives that increase equality of opportunity.” Caroline McCague, RSM UK
