Programme Content

Through workshops and employer-led sessions, you’ll build practical skills, grow your confidence and understand real workplace expectations to help you stand out not just on paper, but in interviews and in the workplace.

Employability Workshops

Level up your workplace skills including delivering presentations, CV writing and communicating professionally.

Corporate Insight

Get used to being in corporate spaces and learn how to network with senior business professionals.

Interview Practice

Sharpen your interview skills, learn how to succeed at assessment centres and let your potential shine.

Example Timetable

Our Business Programme runs three days a week, giving you space to learn, grow and stay on track. Each week is designed to help you build new skills, boost your confidence and see real progress as you go. Below is an example of what a typical week could look like.

Ongoing Support

Once the main programme wraps up, we don’t just leave you to it. For 12 months, our team will be actively on hand to check in with, and you’ll also be eligible to join LTSB’s growing alumni community.

We’ll share opportunities and support you with your own applications, as well helping you keep your interview skills fresh.

We’ll help you transition into the workplace and overcome any challenges with regular check ins.

You’ll be invited to join the LTSB Alumni Community to connect with past participants and access events and opportunities.

Success stories

Hear from young people who have built confidence, developed new skills and launched their careers through our programmes.

I think this programme has greatly benefited me as a young person with less experience and education in getting into the world of work. I’ve gained great insight into the industry and met a great network of people each with valuable advice which has helped me on my journey.

I would speak really low in meetings and wouldn’t really contribute. I said “I don’t feel like I belong here” but he told me “you’re here for a reason and we still chose you and you’re very intelligent” that was very reassuring. That gave me a lot of confidence not just in work but in life. Just because you grew up a certain way and believe you can’t work in certain environments or speak to certain people.

The LTSB programme is the best I’ve ever been in. I’ve got a lot of incredible opportunity that I never would have if I didn’t join. It’s truly eye-opening and inspiring. The mentors are very supportive, it truly feels like a safe space for like-minded people to support each other.

It was a wonderful journey and I can definitely see the difference between the first day at Page Group and the last day with our final presentations. I’m so proud of not only myself but the whole cohort because we’ve grown so much over the past 8 weeks, but we couldn’t have done it without LTSB so thank you!!!

Joining LTSB was really transformative for me. It helped with my interview skills, networking effectively and confidence! This is something I would recommend to any young person who wants to improve themselves in terms of employability and confidence. This experience has been really valuable & I have felt support all the way through :)
Amani
I recommend LTSB to all young people without the support system to help them get into the meaningful roles they aspire to. There are loads of sessions to help you develop employability skills and the opportunities gained from this programme will go a long way. I am now able to pursue my professional career which I thought was once impossible due to my background.
