Coach Core Foundation joins the 5% Club
Coach Core Foundation has showcased its commitment to developing its people by joining The 5% Club, an industry led initiative focussed on driving momentum into the recruitment of apprentices, graduates, T-Level students and sponsored students.
The 5% Club is a movement of more than 1,000 employers providing ‘earn and learn’ opportunities to develop the skills and talents people need to become more employable and create meaningful careers. Companies joining The 5% Club commit to raising the number of apprentices, sponsored students and graduates on formal programmes to 5% of their total workforce within five years. Members are also asked to publicly report their progress in their Annual Report. Existing members range from SMEs to FTSEs and cover all sectors including engineering, transport, and financial services.
Member companies now also have the opportunity to achieve accredited Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze membership status through the annual Employer Audit.
The Club was founded in 2013, and uses its platform, and record of success to engage with policymakers and influencers on issues of concern and relevance, specifically increasing awareness and activity that links skills investment with discernible social impact.
Amy Fazackerley, Policy and Partnerships Manager, says: ‘Coach Core Foundation are delighted to partner with the 5% Club. We are committed to providing high-quality apprenticeship opportunities for young people, and now we’re challenging ourselves to do the same for our own team. Our partnership with the 5% Club helps us invest in our people, raise our standards, and demonstrate a commitment to continued professional development.’
Gill Cronin, Director of Operations of The 5% Club said, “We’re delighted to welcome Coach Core Foundation into membership. The 5% Club provides a fantastic network of HR and L&D professionals, sharing and learning from each other. All our members share an ethos of creating a skilled workforce through ‘earn and learn’ development programmes, helping people develop meaningful career paths.”
