• Job opportunities – you will be signposted to Moving on Up apprenticeships and job opportunities. These are job vacancies vetted by our team and guaranteed to pay a minimum of £12,000 per year. Your mentor will complete ‘better off’ calculations with you so you can understand how your finances will work once you are in work.
