“One of the best projects I have seen is the City Gateway youth inclusion project in Tower Hamlets. The project brings volunteers from some of the biggest banks to help develop the skills and job-readiness of young people. We need to find ways to make sure such brilliant projects are more than one-off success stories."
David Lammy, Minister of State for Further Education
Case Study: HSS Hire (Tool Hire & Training)
HSS have a long history of supporting the communities they work in and also see the business sense in building & supporting a local workforce. We are partnering with their professional trainers to offer a range of customer service courses to our women and young people, including an apprenticeship scheme with placements at local Tool Hire centres which aims to progress successful trainees directly into employment. To launch the partnership HSS drafted in the support of some of their own suppliers and a team of ‘HSS Heroes’ to completely refurbish our main training rooms; they even provided the equipment needed for a separate decorating day with volunteers from MLS Business Centres at our women’s project.
“The City Gateway team does a tremendous job in engaging the community and we are very pleased indeed to be working on this project. This is about providing real jobs for local people - the skills they learn through the training sessions and work placements will help equip them for the world of work and we’re hoping it will also provide us with our London based branch managers, fitters, drivers, hire consultants and sales people of the future.”
