Driving Social Mobility and Building the Future Energy Workforce

Over the past five years, YE has partnered with National Grid to deliver their Pathways to Progress Access programme through their School/College outreach equipping 16–24-year-olds with skills, confidence, and career readiness for the energy sector and green economy.
Pathways to Progress targets disadvantaged communities and supports young people facing barriers to opportunity while aligning with National Grid’s social mobility ambitions and YE’s 2024–2030 Transforming Futures Strategy.
