The past few months have brought significant change, both trying and positive, as we continue to grow, evolve, and adapt to meet the needs of our learners, employers, and partners.


Through it all, our focus on doing what’s right has remained constant. The launch of Greenpays marks an important step forward, supporting individuals and businesses to gain the skills needed for a more sustainable future.


Thank you to all our partners for your continued collaboration and support as we build a stronger, greener, and more skilled workforce together.

CONTRACT SPOTLIGHT


Path 2 Apprenticeships — Building Skills, Creating Opportunities


Our Path 2 Apprenticeships programme, fully funded by the West Midlands Combined Authority, connects employers in Coventry and the Black Country with motivated 19–29-year-olds looking to kickstart meaningful careers.


We work with employers to co-design apprenticeship opportunities paying at least the National Living Wage, while providing learners with digital, sustainability, and employability skills. This ensures employers have a pool of confident, work-ready candidates, and learners gain the skills and support needed to succeed.


Whether you’re an employer looking to grow your own talent or a young person seeking a career pathway, our programme provides tailored training, mentoring, and guaranteed interview opportunities.
