We believe the current interest in Apprenticeships, when combined with successful social mobility models such as ‘Year Up’ from the USA, could create powerful new ways of opening up opportunities to local young people.

We want to use this to start a debate in east London about how public agencies, social enterprise and the private sector (large and small) can work together to ensure we provide local young people the opportunities they deserve and their capabilities and ambition means more than their postcode.
