Client Success Executive

About Us

We specialise in creating apprenticeship opportunities for young people entering the workforce for the first time. We recruit and employ every apprentice on behalf of the "host" client, enabling us to offer additional support and a better experience for both apprentice and client. We arrange the most suitable and appropriate apprenticeship training from one of our partner training providers.

We are a government-approved Flexi-Job Apprenticeship Agency and this means we have a licence to employ apprentices on behalf of our clients and offer short-term placements. The "Flexi-Job Apprenticeship Agency" model is highly effective and has many benefits for the host organisation, such as short-term placements, reduced employment liability, access to many high-quality training providers and additional support throughout the relationship.

Our mission statement is to inspire ambition and widen horizons. Our purpose is to create and nurture apprenticeship opportunities that might not otherwise exist for young people.

We are currently ranked 1st in the "Rate My Apprenticeship" Central and Greater London Regional Top Employers Award and 19th in the list of Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers 2021-22.
