Help the Ladder to grow

Kevin Davis, chairman of the Ladder Apprenticeship Foundation and lead for the Ladder for Staffordshire writes: Thank you for visiting our website. We hope you can play your part to help more young people, employers and training providers to increase skills and careers opportunities in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent.

The solutions to youth unemployment are complex. But the Ladder partners believe it requires a collaborative joined up, systems-based approach to improving skills and enrichment opportunities for all, particularly for the young and disadvantaged communities, incentivising and equipping employers to hire and retain them. We want to raise awareness to ensure all can make an informed decision about what to do next.
