Raising Voices and Opportunities: Social Mobility Day 2023 and the Power of Apprenticeships
Social Mobility Day is an annual awareness day in the UK, this year being held on Thursday 15th June 2023. This year, the main theme is “#SpeakMore” aiming to encourage others to talk about social mobility and add their voice to the conversation; whether that is to ask questions, share personal stories or simply spread the word about social mobility.
Social Mobility Day is about raising awareness of social mobility in the UK, helping others to understand and encouraging action to create positive change. Social mobility is an issue that is not yet widely understood; an awareness day like this provides the opportunity to inform and educate about the need to put social mobility, equality and inclusion, bringing the issue to everyone’s attention.
Social mobility is about making sure that the circumstances of a person’s birth, do not determine their outcomes in life. It is about inclusion, equality and opportunity for all. Building a culture where anyone can achieve their potential, no matter where their story started. Social mobility creates a more fair society where opportunities are available to everyone, opening doors to a more diverse workforce with a variety of views and lived experiences.
Paragon Skills is proud to support #SocialMobilityDay. As an apprenticeship provider, we believe in equitable employment opportunities for all. Apprenticeships are constantly developing and are rising in popularity; giving everyone equal opportunities, helping learners to enter their desired careers, and supporting employers to build the best workforce for their business.
Apprenticeships play an important role in encouraging social mobility. Apprenticeships, you see, are more than just acquiring a trade or talent. They’re a wonderful approach to ensure that everyone, regardless of background, can find meaningful work and advance their careers. So, by offering apprenticeships, we are helping to make the UK a more equitable and inclusive environment. Isn’t that amazing? So, whether you’re a student eager to start your career or an employer looking to establish a diverse staff, keep in mind that apprenticeships are a great way to increase social mobility.
