The 5% Club, a leading skills charity and employer movement, is proud to announce the opening of nominations for its prestigious Fellowship program. Established in 2023 to celebrate the Tenth Anniversary of The 5% Club (2013-2023), the Fellowship recognizes individuals who have driven inspired action within the movement, contributing significantly to advancing inclusive and accessible workplace learning for all.
The 5% Club Fellowship comprises a select group of the most “inspired actors” and communicators from across the skills development landscape. These distinguished individuals demonstrate exceptional influence in promoting earn-and-learn schemes such as apprenticeships, graduate programs, and sponsored student opportunities. As role models, Fellows will be instrumental in delivering social impact by offering guidance, thought leadership, and leveraging their professional networks to support The 5% Club’s mission.
In addition to serving as ambassadors for the movement, Fellows will play a vital role in shaping The 5% Club’s strategic direction and operational activities. They will be invited to join the Business Leadership Council or Expert Advisory Council, further amplifying their impact on the organization’s initiatives.
Nominations are open until 11th November 2024. The 5% Club is seeking a diverse and dynamic second cohort of Fellows who have demonstrated long-term commitment to its vision. Nominees should have a proven track record in advancing inclusive and accessible workplace learning, regardless of the size, sector, or location of their organization.
