Some industries are hard to break into without the right contacts. Our Business Programme changes that. If you come from a background that is too often overlooked in the world of business, this programme is built for you. Over six weeks you will build the skills, confidence and connections to launch a career you can be proud of, then interview for real, paid roles with leading employers.
Before you apply, please check our full eligibility criteria on our website. This programme has specific requirements you will need to meet.
What to expect
- Build your confidence, skills and experience for a future in business.
- Learn directly from leading companies and people who really know the industry.
- Get support with applications and interviews for real, paid roles with top employers.
- Receive ongoing support through your first 12 months in work.
Who you will work with
We connect you with leading employers for insight days, mentoring and coaching. With over a decade of experience, we have the connections that can offer a launchpad to a lasting career.
In London we work with employers including Acast, BKL, Bravura, Hays, SRG and Page Group, and we are also proud to work with LinkedIn.
What you will do
- Employability workshops: Sharpen the skills employers look for, from delivering presentations and writing your CV to communicating professionally.
- Corporate insight: Get comfortable in corporate spaces and learn how to network with senior business professionals.
- Interview practice: Build the skills to succeed at interviews and assessment centres, and let your potential shine.
Ongoing support
When the main programme ends, we do not leave you to it. For 12 months our team checks in regularly, helps you settle into the workplace and keeps your interview skills sharp. You will also join the LTSB Alumni Community, connecting with past participants and accessing events and opportunities.

- Have 5 GCSEs at grade 4 / C or above (preferable but not essential).
- Come from a background that faces barriers to a career in business.
- Be available for the full six weeks of the programme.
