The 2021-22 financial year was one of the most active in Springboard’s history as we supported the hospitality industry to rebuild following the pandemic and deliver our mission to futureproof the talent pipeline for hospitality and tourism. Over the past 12 months, Springboard:

• Engaged 27,117 pupils through our careers and education programmes, across 527 schools, colleges and universities.
• Trained 3,454 young and disadvantaged people through our employability programmes, helping give them soft skills, build their confidence, hospitality-related training and one-to-one mentoring and coaching.
• And we supported 124,153 people with specialist careers information guidance, promoting the hospitality, leisure and tourism industry as a great place to work. This included 105,493 users of the CareerScope hospitality careers hub.
• This helped support 5,095 young people into careers in hospitality through Springboard to 2022, more than half way to the target of 10,000 by the end of 2022.
