Results for America, a non-profit organization that helps government leaders use evidence and data to find solutions to many of society’s ills – recently issued an updated case study about the progress a program in the City of Charlotte has made to improve upward mobility for its children. A decade ago in a study about intergenerational mobility of America’s 50 biggest cities, Charlotte came in dead last, but it's made leagues of progress since. They key has been the Year Up program which, according to the case study, “operates tuition-free and provides its mostly low-income participants with six months of sector-specific technical coursework followed by a six-month internship, with the goal of transitioning them into full-time roles.” This Management Update by Barrett and Greene Inc. delves into the key components of the program, which can be useful in many other cities.

Today marks #internationalnonprofitday, at OAL we’re proud to support the apprenticeship community as a nonprofit organisation. We work collaboratively with so many fantastic employers and providers within the apprenticeship space and are extremely proud of the incredible work we help achieve each and every day. As part of our role as a nonprofit end point assessment organisation we feel it’s important we invest in support with real game changers in the sector such as the AoA and FAB. The Association of Apprentices "connects apprentices to a network of peers, mentors and social groups and provides career boosting resources". The Federation of Awarding Bodies is the "collective voice of the UK’s world-class qualifications and assessments industry. Its members are committed to providing high-quality qualifications and assessments that recognise achievement, improve productivity, support social mobility and change lives". #nonprofit #endpointassessment #epao #support #collaboration #apprenticeships #apprentices #qualifications #achievement #socialmobility #community

Post-16 options can be confusing. BTECs are looking to be replaced by T Levels. T Levels seem to be a hybrid of A-Levels, BTECs and Apprenticeships. Post-16 Apprenticeships seem few and far between. And A-Levels are not accessible to everyone nor do they offer the best preparation for many careers. This is why it is vital students are supported to consider each option in the context of both their own learning preferences and the career they are aiming to get into. This is exactly what the volunteer coaches at Blenheim Underwriting Limited did for their students today in the third session of the Future Frontiers careers education programme. A huge thank you to Macie O'Brien, Joanne Perry-Spinks, Rohit Govind, Laura Phillips, Shivanay Allen, Nick Faux, Neil Sweeney, Gemma Dawson, Philip Hammick, Sophie Richardson, Richard Marks and James for your incredible work! #diversity #inclusion #volunteer #charity #apprenticeships #post16 #options #training #dei #socialmobility #careers #coach #mentor #qualifications #jobs

In honor of Women's History Month, delve into this apprenticeship case study: "Advancing Opportunities for Women through Apprenticeship: A Case-Based Resource Guide." This invaluable resource offers a blueprint for expanding apprenticeship programs for women, prioritizing inclusivity in traditionally underrepresented groups. Featuring case studies of four exemplary, women-inclusive pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship initiatives spanning various industries, the guide highlights shared strategies to empower sponsors and stakeholders in creating pathways to lucrative careers for women. Read one of the success stories below and click the link in comments to discover the full report and unlock insights into Registered Apprenticeship! "The Moore Community House (MCH) Women in Construction (WinC) program in Biloxi, Mississippi provides a pathway to better-paying careers for economically-disadvantaged women, primarily single mothers. WinC is an innovative pre-apprenticeship training program that includes individualized case management and funding for childcare and transportation. Before entering the WinC program, Brianna worked in the casino industry. As a single parent of an infant and a toddler, she knew she needed a more meaningful career path that would sustain her family. In April 2018, she heard about WinC from a cousin and they both enrolled in the program the following month. The staff and “can-do” attitude of WinC built her confidence that she could succeed in the skilled trades. An additional benefit of the program was that her children transitioned from homebased care to a licensed childcare facility. During the program, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 903 spoke to her training class and Brianna immediately knew that she wanted to become an electrician. Upon graduation, she applied for and was accepted into the IBEW electrical apprenticeship program. She and another WinC graduate are the first women in the program, and she feels through dedication and hard work she is earning the respect of her male counterparts. Her ultimate goal? To open her own electrical business and give other women the same opportunities she has had. Brianna says that enrolling in the WinC program is the best thing she has ever done. She is secure in the knowledge that she will be able to take care of her family financially and have a career she loves." #ApprenticeshipUSA #WomensHistoryMonth #EqualEmploymentOpportunity #RegisteredApprenticeship

Now that the dust has settled on National Apprenticeships Week, you may be interested in why you should choose Corndel ahead of other providers offering #apprenticeships . Well, I've mentioned it before, but we're the only provider to have a charity team. Between us, we have over 50 years of experience in #fundraising , #operations and #management . We've worked at some of the smallest charities in the UK, and 2 of us at the biggest! Also really lovely people (Meghan, Alyssa, Andrew and Jenni) More importantly, the completion and successful pass rate on all of our apprenticeships is above average, with some programmes more than 15% above national average. We're one of only six providers offering the Fundraising Diploma, and I'm not sure it's controversial to say that we're the "go-to", with 95% of the learners of that apprenticeship completing with us. You may also get to partner and work with me! Only today, I created a lunch and learn event for a 'sea faring' organisation and named it, "l(a)unch and learn", so you can see what type of wit you'll be getting. With our existing apprenticeships being more popular than ever, and new programmes in #dataengineering , Senior #HR Professional and Business Change Professional (#businessanalyst ) all joining our offering in the next couple of months, there's never been a better time to find out more. https://lnkd.in/ewaNFvQY
