tml Partners is thrilled to have formed a partnership with City Gateway, a charity that exists to give everyone the equal chance to change the future. Their vision is for a future society where everyone reaches their full potential. Where the future is not defined by the past or determined by the place a person starts.
City Gateway works with young people and vulnerable women who are not in education, employment or training (NEET) to help them to reach their full potential. They provide skills development courses, work-based training, placements and apprenticeships.
The charity is based in Tower Hamlets, just next to Canary Wharf, one of the most affluent areas of London, and yet within Tower Hamlets there is a 56.7% child poverty rate. They currently work with over 300 women and young people. Their track record shows that, with their help, the people they work with double their chances of getting sustainable employment.
tml Partners has been working with City Gateway’s Development Director to devise a partnership to assist the charity and the people they work with and we’re excited to be able to contribute through the following commitments:
- Coaching City Gateway staff: our consultants will work with City Gateway coaches on CV writing and interview skills, so that they can pass these valuable competencies on to the young people they work with.
- Workshops for students: tml Partners will provide workshops on CV writing, interview skills, job searching and developing a personal brand through social media for work-ready students.
- Exploring apprenticeship opportunities: in the future we aim to work with our clients to deliver opportunities for apprenticeships across a broad range of industries.
Charlie Green, Partner of tml Partners comments “we are perfectly positioned to be able to support City Gateway’s work in their community through both drawing on our internal expertise to assist trainers and students and working with our clients to find real world opportunities for individuals that are ready to enter the workplace. Ensuring that marketing is a diverse and inclusive sector is an important goal for us and we’re delighted to be working with City Gateway to help this become a reality.”
