SUPPORT US
First Step Trust relies on the support of employers, industry partners, and professionals to create meaningful opportunities for people who face barriers to employment. There are several ways you can make a real difference.
Â
FUNDING – INVEST IN SKILLS
Your financial support enables us to continue delivering high-quality, practical training programmes across sectors such as automotive, construction, finance, administration and hospitality.Â
Contributions help cover the cost of training, development, and innovative tools like Virtual Reality programmes. By funding our programmes, you’re directly supporting individuals to gain the skills, confidence, and qualifications needed for sustainable employment.
OPEN YOUR DOORS: WORK PLACEMENTS AND EXPERIENCE
Providing work placements or on-the-job experience is one of the most impactful ways employers can engage. By welcoming trainees into your organisation, you give them the chance to apply the skills they’ve learned in a real-world environment.Â
This not only benefits the individual but also helps your business develop a motivated, capable workforce while contributing to social change.
SME’S: GUIDE FUTURE PROJECTS AND VR TRAININGÂ
We often partner with industry experts to advise and help us design training programmes, including our Virtual Reality.
 Sharing your expertise and collaborating with us helps us create training that reflects current industry standards and prepares our trainees for the realities of the workplace.Â
Your involvement ensures our programmes remain innovative, relevant, and effective.
