A general enquiry

If you are funding, mentoring or applying to a programme, the forms further down are quicker. For anything else, this one.

    Apply as a learner

    If money is the only thing stopping you, tell us.

    There is no fee to apply and there is no fee for a place. Nobody at this Foundation or at any partner will ever ask you for money. If someone does, write to us.

    We cannot take everybody. Cohorts open when a funder pays for one, and we contact people on the list when that happens. Filling this in does not guarantee a place, and we will not pretend otherwise.

      Mentor a learner

      One contact a month, for a year.

      We match by trade, brief you properly, and ask for one real conversation a month with one learner. Most of what a mentor gives is not advice. It is an introduction, a look at a portfolio, and the knowledge of what a first job in that trade actually asks for.

      Mentors are screened, including a reference check, because they will be in contact with young people.

        Funders, employers and delivery partners have their own page.

        It sets out what a place costs, what a sponsor receives and what we require of a delivery partner, and it carries the five-field form.
