Life brings twists and turns. I was thinking a few years ago of slowing down and had given up my role as Head of Funding and Partnerships but wanted to continue to support Safaraz and the team on a Advisory and Support basis. The Industry we operate in has gone through tremendous change with the end of the Work Programme coming in as well as the considerable changes in the Skills sector. We are now preparing for AEB devolution and additional changes in the Apprenticeship sector and offering complete workforce development solutions for businesses. I am proud and privileged to have taken the role of Chairman to support the board and drive the change. We are always open to partnership working and infact most of our business comes from strategic alliances and partnership work. I keep saying I am an easy guy to talk to - contact me via my email: AlanH@pathwaygroup.co.uk or call me on 0121 707 0550.

There is a universal commitment in the UK of being able to extend opportunities for everyone, regardless of their race, gender, or religion. In this respect, a number of government targets have been placed to improve the labour market chances for all. These include increasing the quantity of apprenticeships taken on by young people deriving from BAME backgrounds by 20%, and then increasing BAME employment by another 20%, by the year 2020. The above is a quote form Safaraz - Please see what my good friend and colleague Safaraz Ali, who is the Founder of the Awards had to say in his personal blog: http://easy4life.blogspot.co.uk/2016/11/proud-moment-with-asian-apprenticeship.html
