Investing in the next generation is at the heart of what we do, which is why we’re excited to announce our new partnership with all-girls school Greenbank High School, part of The Southport Learning Trust.
The transition from school to the workplace can feel like a leap into the unknown, and this collaboration aims to bridge the gap between education and the professional world, ensuring no student makes that jump alone.
At the Group, we offer a wealth of career experience opportunities, from apprenticeships designed to shape the next generation, to our unique ‘Pathway into Construction’ initiative. This initiative encourages young women to consider a career in construction, a traditionally male-dominated industry, through five-days of work experience across our trades.

By blending our industry expertise with Greenbank High’s dedication to excellence, we’re providing a roadmap that guides students towards career readiness. With a range of hands-on initiatives, including career insight days, job shadowing and enterprise days, we’ll inspire and prepare the next generation as they take the next steps towards their future.
Students will also benefit from practical support, including interview coaching, CV workshops and confidence-building sessions, providing the necessary tools for them to secure the career of their dreams.
The leadership team at Greenbank High School shared their excitement for the journey ahead, noting:
“We are delighted to partner with an employer that values people, improves communities and invests in developing future talent. This partnership gives our students access to inspiring role models, meaningful real-world experiences and a clearer understanding of the wide range of careers available to them. The Sovini Group’s commitment to equality of opportunity aligns strongly with our mission to empower young people to develop the skills, confidence, and agency they need to thrive beyond school.”
Christina Forshaw, Learning and Development Manager at The Sovini Group expressed pride in the partnership, saying:
“We are proud to partner with Greenbank High, part of The Southport Learning Trust to give students hands-on, meaningful work experience. Through career talks, interview skills coaching and confidence building support, we will help young people discover their strengths and prepare for the world of work. Guided by our vision of a better future and our mission of creating opportunities and changing lives, we invest in future talent, champion equality of opportunity and open pathways into a wide range of careers that help us improve the communities we serve.”
This collaboration is a testament to our commitment of championing equality and creating opportunities that lead to a better future for the communities we serve. We can’t wait to see the impact these students will make as they embark on their professional journeys.
