Amey has become a patron of the Multicultural Apprenticeship and Skills Alliance, reflecting its commitment to diversity, inclusion and social mobility across the UK infrastructure sector.
Founded in 2017 by skills provider Pathway Group, the alliance champions equity and accessibility in apprenticeships and skills development.
As a patron, Amey will help to drive initiatives that break down barriers to employment, particularly for individuals from underrepresented groups.
The partnership will provide Amey with access to expert insight, research, and diverse networks, helping to support a more inclusive, future-ready workforce.
Amey’s patronage aligns with the recent rebrand of its employability programme, Journey to Work, and its apprenticeship scheme.
Commenting on the announcement, Claire Robinson, Amey’s HR director, said: “As one of the UK’s leading infrastructure companies, we recognise our responsibility not only to deliver vital public services, but also to help develop the diverse, skilled workforce that sustains them.
“That’s why partnerships like this matter – joining forces with the Multicultural Apprenticeship and Skills Alliance strengthens the work we’re already doing and helps us go further in creating real, lasting pathways into employment for underrepresented groups.”
Safaraz Ali, founder and CEO of Pathway Group and the Multicultural Apprenticeship and Skills Alliance, described Amey’s patronage as a “clear statement of intent”.
“It reflects a deep commitment to breaking down barriers and driving measurable change in how talent is nurtured across the UK,” Ali added.
“With the strength of the Amey brand and its influence in infrastructure, combined with our shared mission for equity and representation, this collaboration is set to create meaningful opportunities for those too often overlooked.
“Together, we are building a workforce that truly reflects the society it serves.”
