Working
with the Prince’s Trust
A
chance to support Young People into work.
4 July to 21 July are
important dates in the career development of a group of young
unemployed people across London! And you could make a difference
with a work placement.
Up to 20 lucky young
people will have the opportunity to attend a 5 day ‘Get Into
Customer Service’ Pitman Training programme commissioned by Prince’s
Trust, starting on 4 July. This could be a major career break for
them. Especially if they can find an immediate Work Placement.
To enable them to put
their skills to good use Love and Tate are supporting the drive to
find work for this group, starting with Work Placements from 11 – 21
July. Can
The training will add
valuable skills to their repertoire, making them well worth
considering for roles in reception, facilities, database updates,
telephone queries, seasonal jobs … any tasks that can be delegated,
allowing your professionals to crack on and hit their own targets!
This is a completely
inspirational and free way to recruit – if you have a job in mind,
you might like to meet and select your trainee before they start. If
you are busy we can match you up with someone suitable and after a 2
week work placement, you can choose whether they carry on with you
or not. It is entirely FREE of fees if you do keep them on.
It is also a great chance for organisations to join in on a hugely
positive project, meeting your CSR and diversity aims, too.

Views from employers involved
last time around:
"Lipe came to us for
work experience through The Prince’s Trust Get into Admin programme.
All the team managers that she worked with and I were thoroughly
impressed with her attention to detail with the tasks that she was
assigned and the speed at which she picked up some fairly complex
principles and programmes."
"We worked with
Sulaiman,on your ‘Get into Admin’ last July for 3 days.
Sulaiman was very keen
to learn and was interested in all aspects of our work asking
questions and through the short time that he was with us you could
see his confidence growing by the interaction he had with working
with different teams in the office.
He gained an insight
into the different software that is available for the various work
streams and how they are used.
We were able to assist
Sulaiman in areas of work that he did not know may be available to
him through study and gaining qualifications. Everyone who
worked with Sulaiman in the office commented on his attitude to work
and his keenness to learn.
As a company we would
welcome the opportunity to be involved in other ‘Get into’
schemes, this is dictated by our business needs and requirements at
the time."
