HIT Training Elevates Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion by Becoming Patrons of the Multicultural Apprenticeship Alliance


Leading vocational training provider, HIT Training, is thrilled to announce its patronage of the Multicultural Apprenticeship Alliance, reinforcing its dedication to promoting equity, diversity and inclusion within the apprenticeship and skills landscape.

The Multicultural Apprenticeship Alliance is a dynamic initiative committed to promoting equal opportunities and representation within apprenticeships for individuals from all backgrounds. By becoming patrons, HIT Training aims to contribute actively to Multicultural Apprenticeship Alliance mission of creating a more inclusive apprenticeship and skills environment.

This strategic partnership signifies a significant step in HIT Training’s ongoing efforts to enhance diversity and create a workforce that reflects the diversity of society. Through the partnership with the Multicultural Apprenticeship Alliance, HIT Training will collaborate with other patrons, strategic partners and industry stakeholders to drive positive change and address barriers faced by underrepresented communities in the apprenticeship and skills sectors.

“We are proud to join hands with HIT Training in championing diversity and inclusion within apprenticeships. This partnership aligns seamlessly with our values and underscores our commitment to providing equity of opportunity for all individuals to excel in their careers.”

Jill Whittaker, HIT Training’s Executive Chair, says:

“We are delighted to partner with the Multicultural Apprenticeship Alliance and actively promote apprenticeships amongst multicultural communities. As a national training provider, we are committed to breaking down barriers that prevent many people from diverse backgrounds from pursuing a career in sectors ranging from hospitality, retail, adult care and early years. The partnership with the Multicultural Apprenticeship Alliance helps to promote the benefits of vocational training and showcase the wide range of opportunities and career pathways available. It also helps to make apprenticeships more accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or circumstances.”

Safaraz Ali, CEO and Founder of the Multicultural Apprenticeship Alliance, expresses his delight at HIT Training joining as patrons:

‘We are thrilled to welcome HIT Training as patrons of the Multicultural Apprenticeship Alliance. Their commitment to promote equity, diversity and inclusion aligns seamlessly with our mission.
