MAPP has partnered with Leadership Through Sport & Business to create new employment opportunities for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds — ensuring a promising start to a career in real estate that builds on their existing skill sets.
LTSB is a social mobility charity that equips and supports those at risk of under-employment to fulfil their career ambitions and potential.
In the past 12 months, MAPP has taken on nine apprentices in its accounting and surveying teams. The positive integration of the apprentices into the property management firm has led to the possibility of a second cohort being recruited in 2021 to support other areas of the business.
Sean Greathead, head of people and talent at MAPP, commented: “It has been a privilege to work with LTSB as we have brought on-board such phenomenal young people. The quality of apprentices has been superb, and those who have joined MAPP are an asset to the business.
“All of the apprentices were well prepared for their interviews and set up for working life at MAPP. Despite onboarding during a pandemic, all nine apprentices have been a testament to the work and support delivered by LTSB. We look forward to working with them into the future.”
