We are delighted to announce that Apprentify Group has become a Gold Member sponsor of The Big Goal - a national initiative that uses the power of football to transform the lives of vulnerable young people across the UK. 

Through our sponsorship, we will be helping to fund and deliver life-changing Street Soccer Academy places for young people who need it most. The Street Soccer Academy is part of The Big Goal's wider mission: to create real opportunity through sport, community and connection. 

It is a cause that resonates deeply with our values here at Apprentify. We believe in the power of skills, opportunity and the right support system to help people reach their potential - and The Big Goal embodies exactly that. 

Leading the charge from our side are our two team captains: Ben Robinson, Apprentify's Internal Sales Manager, and Emelia Wilson, Apprentify's SDR and semi-professional footballer with Stoke City Women. Emelia's experience on the pitch makes her a natural leader for this partnership, and we could not be more excited to have her and Ben flying the flag for our team. 

As a Gold Member, Apprentify will be involved in a range of exciting activities throughout the year - from the Regional Finals of The Big Goal National Football Tournament to ongoing community and social initiatives. We will be sharing updates as the year unfolds, so keep a close eye on our Group LinkedIn channels. 

We will also have representation in the form of Team Netcom, flying the flag for Apprentify Group in the Midlands. 

If you are an employer, learner or training provider who would like to find out more about The Big Goal or get involved, visit thebiggoal.co.uk or speak to our team. 

Together, we are not just training the workforce of tomorrow - we are helping to build the communities they will thrive in.
