Introduction
Getting your first experience of work isn't equally easy for everyone. Innspired brings together the partnerships and programmes we use to help more young people build confidence, gain experience and take their first steps into work.
Initiatives
Opening doors to work
Thrive
Through Thrive, we work with specialist colleges to give young people with special educational needs supported experience of working at Premier Inn. Students spend time in one of our hotels, supported by our team and a job coach from their college, building their skills and confidence in a real working environment.For some, that experience can lead to a permanent role with us.
Barnardo’s
We work with Barnardo's to help care-experienced young people build the confidence, skills and experience to move into work. Through the programme, young people get support with their employability and spend time gaining practical experience in one of our hotels, with the opportunity to move into a permanent role with Premier Inn.
Work Experience
Getting some experience can make starting work feel a lot less daunting. We work with schools, colleges and universities to give young people the chance to experience working at Premier Inn. Our work experience can be tailored around different interests, giving young people a closer look at hotel life, the roles available and where that first experience could take them next.
