Springboard

Last month, we celebrated another incredible Diageo Learning for Life graduation in London 🎓💙 Through our partnership with Diageo and the Learning for Life programme, we continue to support people into sustainable careers in hospitality - creating opportunities, building confidence and changing lives. This programme was especially exciting, with training delivered at the Guinness Open Gate Brewery and the launch of a dedicated Learning for Life training space in central London. It was inspiring to hear directly from graduates about their journeys and achievements. We were also honoured to welcome The Rt Hon Baroness Smith of Malvern @Jacqui_Smith1 , who shared the government’s commitment to supporting young people into meaningful careers. A huge thank you to our incredible industry partners for their continued support, including @DominusHospitality, @thewolseleyhg , @ConradLondonSJ . @Hilton , @DoubleTree – Tower of London and Hilton London Tower Bridge, alongside the Department for Work and Pensions (@DWPgovuk @DWP ). 👏 Together, we’re opening doors and helping create brighter futures in hospitality. #DiageoLearningForLife #Springboard #HospitalityCareers #Employability #London
