Our past winner…

Matthew Wallis impressed us all with his plans to raise opportunities for disabled apprentices last year. Here’s how he has been getting on since:

“I have been undertaking research and building a case to determine what we can do to help bridge the apprenticeship gap for disabled people. As a result of this research, I provided the PPMA Policy Board an update. I made 4 simple, but effective, recommendations which aims to tackle the gap.

“These recommendations will help PPMA and our employer organisations identify whether their apprenticeship programmes are as accessible as they could be. In the coming months, I will be working with our networks to try and make sure these recommendations become a reality.”
