Selectaglaze has recently enrolled onto this scheme whereby we employ 16-24 year olds on Universal Credit who are at risk of long-term unemployment. They stay with us for 6 months to learn:

• How a business operates
• Develop general workplace skills
• Receive training on various Health and Safety subjects
• They are provided support with career advice, goal setting, CV and interview preparations

All this to help them to become more employable going forward.

Working with UK employers and key influencers to inspire, educate and retain a growing body of people into “earn and learn” placements, the 'club' was created in order to increase the number of apprentices, sponsored students and graduates, to in turn increase the employment and career prospects of today’s youth and equip the UK with the skilled workforce it needs to safeguard Britain’s economy.
