Springboard was established in 1990 to support the hospitality, leisure and tourism industry and those seeking employment within it, with three key aims:
To advance the life and education of those under the age of 25, through the provision of advice, training and skills courses.
To relieve poverty and unemployment by assisting people to secure jobs in the hospitality sector.
Tackle ongoing problems the hospitality, leisure and tourism industries face, including staff and skills shortages and misrepresentation about what a fulfilling career they offer.
What we do
Working nationally across the UK and Ireland, our work is built around three key areas:
Employability training programmes – helping disadvantaged people gain soft and hard skills, industry insight, and work placement opportunities- leading to overall improved wellbeing, enhanced employability, and transition to positive destinations including employment/further education/an apprenticeship/etc.
Education programmes – working with schools, colleges and universities to enhance curriculum teaching delivered to students – helping them gain key industry insight and skills development required for the transition from education to employment
Careers resources and advice – providing specialist careers activities online, face-to-face and at careers events.
