Springboard
The Springboard Charity helps young, unemployed and disadvantaged people improve their prospects for economic well being. Springboard work in hospitality, leisure and tourism and provide opportunities for employment and long term careers.
Springboard was created as a result of a skills crisis in the hospitality, leisure, travel and tourism industries. This skills crisis was particularly relevant for “home grown” talent. Every year, Springboard delivers a full range of programmes that reach out to millions of people of all ages and backgrounds across the UK. The work Springboard undertake is vital, as the industry’s recruitment and skills challenges remain, due to a combination of industry growth, demographic changes, a highly competitive labour market, issues around poor image and most recently changes in visa regulations.
The Springboard emphasis on attracting home grown talent is vitally important.
