McGinley Support Services: Finalists at the UK Social Mobility Awards 2024!

We are thrilled to announce that McGinley Support Services has been shortlisted for the Progression Programme of the Year award at the UK Social Mobility Awards 2024. This recognition is a testament to our ongoing commitment to advancing social mobility and providing real work opportunities in the infrastructure sector.

What Are the UK Social Mobility Awards (SOMOs)?

The SOMOs™ celebrate excellence in promoting social mobility across the UK. These awards highlight best practices, innovation, and the tireless efforts of organisations and individuals dedicated to this cause. By recognising these initiatives, the awards help to raise awareness and drive positive changes in creating equal opportunities for people from all backgrounds.

 

Our Programmes: Driving Social Mobility Forward

At McGinley Support Services, our approach to social mobility is comprehensive. We have implemented a range of programmes tailored to address skills shortages in the construction and infrastructure sectors, and to open up real work opportunities for individuals from diverse socio-economic backgrounds. From apprenticeships to employability initiatives, we’ve designed these efforts to help change the perceived social mobility status of those entering the sector.

This recognition at the SOMOs follows our recent success in securing a spot as one of the Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers for the second year running. While our apprenticeships represent just one part of our wider social mobility efforts, being recognised as a top employer reflects the ongoing impact of our commitment to developing career pathways for all.

 

Progression Programme of the Year – What It Means to Us

The Progression Programme of the Year award acknowledges organisations that go beyond simply providing access or recruiting talent. It recognises those that support individuals from under-resourced backgrounds to rise as far as their abilities and potential allow. We are proud that our efforts across various programmes have been recognised in this way.

We have invested significant resources in building programmes that genuinely advance social mobility. Our inclusion in the Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers reflects just one part of our success in driving these initiatives forward. Winning the Progression Programme of the Year award would be the icing on the cake, reaffirming our dedication to supporting new talent and transforming the industry.

 

Why This Matters

Advancing social mobility is at the heart of what we do. We believe that by providing structured career pathways and ongoing support, we can help individuals from various backgrounds realise their full potential and succeed within the infrastructure sector. Our teams have worked tirelessly to engage with stakeholders, develop tailored support processes, and champion these initiatives across our platforms.

We look forward to attending the awards ceremony tomorrow and celebrating the amazing work being done across the UK to promote social mobility. Stay tuned for updates!
