G&T is excited to partner with 15 Billion EBP, a charity focussing on transforming the futures of young people and members of local communities.

15 Billion EBP is an inspiring charity working across all sectors bringing together schools, employers and other partners to inspire people to achieve their potential and thrive in their future careers. The charity will help us to deliver a variety of activities which will allow us to fulfill important social value commitments, creating opportunities for mentoring, career advice and skills building for individuals in schools or boroughs where they might not otherwise have them.  

"Meaningful interaction with those working in the sector is invaluable for young people to understand career paths, skills and the reality of the incredibly diverse jobs within the built environment. We are so grateful for our partnership with ߣߣƵapp; Theobald's NewGen that will help enable this for those who may not otherwise get the opportunity."

Students worked their way through different activities, learning valuable job seeking skills and finding out more ߣߣƵapp the built environment with the help of experienced industry volunteers from across all areas of the built environment.

Other opportunities include 15 Billion EBP’s mentoring programme which supports the academic growth of students by encouraging the development of employability skills, providing them with invaluable insight into the world of work and the industry. We look forward to working with the charity, building relationships with individuals interested in pursuing a career in the industry and giving back to the communities we work in.

This partnership forms part of G&T’s Community Engagement initiative which focusses on five key strands of activity one of which is Education. Other strands include Homelessness, Physical Health, Mental Health and Protecting the Environment.
