The Early Careers Company

Hard to believe The Early Careers Company kicked off this project 18 months ago! 💙 It is such a pleasure seeing Everflow's graduate programme come to an end, and to see their graduates stay on to permanent positions. What an exciting project it was to work on – and so incredibly rewarding for everyone involved. It's no secret that a lot of hard work goes into getting early careers right – but stories like this one just go to show the value it brings! Well done on everyone involved. 👏 Find out more about how we help organisations delivering amazing early careers through: https://lnkd.in/eSU7zBdY The Early Careers Company, part of The Ladder Group #EarlyCareers #EarlyTalent #GraduateProgramme

💙 Celebrating International Women’s Day! 💙 Today, we want to recognise the incredible women who make The Ladder Group what it is. From our senior leadership team to our juniors across the group – there is not a single part of The Ladder Group that is not powered by women. As we recently celebrated our 4th anniversary, we’re proud of how we’ve grown, both as a business and a national charity. None of this would be possible without the phenomenal women who drive our success every day. To all the brilliant women at TLG – and everywhere – thank you for everything you do! 🫶 The Early Careers Company The Early Careers Foundation Ladder Consulting #IWD2025 #WomenInLeadership #Empowerment #TheLadderGroup #EarlyCareers #SocialMobility

National Apprenticeship Week – Myth Busting! Apprenticeships are one of the most powerful tools for driving social mobility, yet misconceptions about them still persist. At ECC, we see firsthand how apprenticeships open doors to incredible career opportunities, especially for young people who may not have access to traditional pathways to top jobs. So, to celebrate National Apprenticeship Week, we asked our team: 💭 What are the most common myths about apprenticeships that need busting? From outdated assumptions about career prospects to misconceptions about who can apply, there’s still a lot of misunderstanding around apprenticeships. Read below as we tackle some of the biggest myths – and set the record straight! 👇 👀 What are some apprenticeship myths you’d love to see busted? Drop them in the comments! ⬇️ #NationalApprenticeshipWeek #Apprenticeships #SocialMobility #TalentDevelopment #FutureOfWork #CareerPaths

✅ Tips for Inclusive Onboarding ✅ With the current climate in America and global organisations dropping DEI initiatives, we need to stand united. Nearly half (47%) of millennials actively look for diversity and inclusion when considering employers. (Deloitte, 2022) So this week, we wanted to share tips on how to onboard inclusively. Hiring diverse talent just isn’t enough – your organisation need to focus on how to ensure everyone feels welcome in your business. Leave a comment for what your organisation is doing to improve inclusivity for new joiners, so we can learn from each other! #onboarding #DEI #InclusiveHiring #EarlyCareers
