Ambassador events
Take a look at some of the events our amazing Ambasadors have attended recently:
Give it a Go Day in partnership with Microsoft
At our recent event in partnership with Microsoft, we invited school pupils to one the Microsoft office for a tech insight day. Ambassador Fiona shared her inspiring story and aspiring apprentices had the opportunity to sign up for apprenticeships on the spot.
Ark Academy Trust employability day
We welcomed students from different schools across London, into our Head Office.
