programme background

It’s easy to assume that attending career fairs or speaking at assemblies will be enough to attract young, diverse talent to your apprenticeship programmes. But at The Land Collective, we know that this is only the first step. Identifying and nurturing potential from under-represented backgrounds takes more than just visibility, it requires building meaningful relationships and offering hands-on support at the very start of their career journey.

Through FirstStep, we go beyond the usual channels to connect with promising Year 13 students, offering them the tools, confidence, and guidance they need to see themselves thriving in the real estate sector. Our approach is comprehensive and personal, providing students from diverse, working-class backgrounds the opportunity to truly understand the sector and, more importantly, understand their own potential within it.

By working directly with employers to design tailored programmes, we create a direct and diverse talent pipeline into apprenticeships. We prepare students to thrive in real workplace environments, which means they are not only job-ready but also motivated to stay, grow, and succeed within your company.
