/ what do we do?
We have a range of jobs and apprenticeship opportunities paying up to the London Living Wage, which is currently £11.95 per hour, in Business Administration and, coming soon, in IT.
We can help you secure one of these great opportunities through our Route to Employment courses which give you sector specific skills and experience. If you need them, we can also help you get your maths and/or English Functional Skills level 2.
Check out our current apprenticeship and job opportunities here >
/ what is Route to Employment?
There are 3 main elements to our Route to Employment courses, all of them ensuring you are ready to, and successful in, gaining your maths and/or English and securing a job or apprenticeship.
-
- Training. Giving you the sector specific skills you need to stand out to an employer – from the first impression given by your CV and cover letter through to what to wear at interview and how you will be expected to behave in a work environment.
- Experience. Nothing can better prepare you for the work environment than submerging yourself in it. Our short sector specific work placement will give you the opportunity to put your training to the test and experience the world of work first hand. Impress and you could be offered a job or apprenticeship off the back of your placement!
- Qualifications. If you don’t have your maths and English, we can help you get them through our functional skills course. If you already have your maths and English we will support you to further develop your skills in these areas specifically tailored to working in a Business Administration/IT role. And to make sure you are completely equipped for employment, we will also ensure you have the necessary digital skills employers are looking for in the people they hire.

/ when can you start?
We have regular vacancies available for when you’re ready to start. The most important thing to do now is complete our application form so one of our team can give you a call to discuss the next steps in more detail. We will then be able to guide you to the relevant Route to Employment course, which in turn will lead to you attending those all important interviews and starting that exciting job or apprenticeship.
/ are there any considerations?
We work with young people aged 16-24 from our dedicated hub based in East London. There are one or two things you need to consider before joining a course with City Gateway.
