William Hill has expanded its relationship with English Premier League football club Tottenham Hotspurs with the launch of the Tottenham Hotspur Elevator Programme, delivered by the Club’s Foundation in partnership with the UK bookmaker.
William Hill’s GBP 100,000 grant will fund the programme which aims to provide 18 to 24-year-olds from Haringey with education, training and opportunities to secure work experience and employment.
“It builds upon the Club’s wider employability work in relation to the new stadium development, which once complete is expected to support around 3,500 jobs – an increase of 1,700 new jobs a year,” the Club said.
The programme is expected to deliver over 100 traineeships and employment opportunities, customer service and business administration certificate qualifications, work placements, apprenticeships and full time employment at William Hill along with ongoing 1-2-1 mentoring support from the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation.
“We are proud to be launching the Elevator Programme with the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation, which will continue our company commitment to providing skills and employment opportunities to individuals in our local communities,” Bill South, group director of security and community affairs at William Hill, said.
