The name gives you a clue – in a nutshell, Springboard is an organisation that acts predominantly as a starting block, by first helping young, unemployed and disadvantaged people launch their career in the hospitality, leisure and tourism industry, then providing ongoing support.
Why is it needed?
The Springboard Charity helps young people achieve their potential; nurtures unemployed people of any age into work; and helps alleviate poverty by supporting disadvantaged and underprivileged people into sustainable employment within the hospitality industry.
We do this by equipping people with knowledge skills and confidence they need to achieve their potential and by carefully nurturing them into sustainable employment and vibrant careers in hospitality, leisure and tourism.
Our pipeline of support includes:
Education and learning activities in schools
Free specialist careers advice and guidance
Skills development
Pre-employment training
Work experience
Guidance into sustainable employment
Mentoring
