How it works?

LTSB is a social mobility charity dedicated to helping young people into the world of work through our tailored employability programmes.

We provide tailored programmes to prepare you for the world of work and make sure you’re ready to hit the ground running. Once you’ve completed one of our bootcamps which are between 2 and 10 weeks long, we’ll guide you through the interview process and work hard to place you in apprenticeships with employers across the UK. We don’t guarantee a job, but we DO guarantee an interview.

We work in communities where potential often struggles to find opportunity. You can apply if you:

• Are aged 16 – 24 years old

Check out each programme page for specific eligibility requirements, as they can vary.
