Introducing the social enterprise innovators

Our very own Tom Storey was featured in a special piece on social enterprises on the Business in the Community website recently.


K10 meet Pimlico Plumbers…

Adam & Tom went to visit Pimlico Plumbers this week and walked away mightily impressed.


Jone is ‘Cruz-ing’ to the top!

A huge congratulations to Jone Da Cruz who was honoured last week for all his hard work during his apprenticeship. Jone, who was Metro’s apprentice of the month, was honoured at the ‘topping out’ ceremony for the Skyline Tower in Hackney.


“Dedication’s the key”

K10 has placed over 100 apprentices with LLDC since the 2012 London Games, giving young people the opportunity to work on some of London’s most high profile projects and iconic buildings.


“The big corporates wouldn’t look at us”.

An incredible and well-deserved achievement for Megan and Manish, and a fantastic opportunity offered by Hackney, Goldman, and K10.


Ryan Wallis completes with Wates

Getting the apprenticeship forced Ryan to get into a schedule/routine – this made him feel as though he was doing something with his life. He felt happier.


Hats off to Humaira – the latest K10 Completer.

Humaira joined K10 just under a year ago and at that point was determined to enter the Business Administration profession but was being met with that all-too-common obstacle from potential employers; “you don’t have enough experience”.


“No cap to where you can progress if you do an apprenticeship” say new Skills Minister, Nick Boles MP

Speaking at the campus, the Minister thanked staff and employers for their work in delivering apprenticeships and said it was important providers continue to “make sure everybody understands how brilliant apprenticeships can be for young people”


K10’s very own IRON MAN

Located in the heart of the heart of the mythical Cote d’Azure, athletes come from all over the world every year to take on this remarkable race and be part of triathlon history. Congratulations Seb – a gargantuan achievement.
