Fly Cup Enterprises Joins the Young Person’s Guarantee!

At Fly Cup Enterprises, we believe in creating real opportunities for young people to develop skills, build confidence, and find meaningful employment. That’s why it was important for us to pledge our support for the next generation via the Young Person’s Guarantee—empowering young people especially those with learning disabilities, fostering a diverse workforce, and bridging the disability employment gap.

What This Means for Us

As a social enterprise, our mission has always been to support individuals with learning disabilities and neurodiversity in gaining employability skills within the catering and hospitality industry. By partnering with Developing the Young Workforce (DYW) North East, we are committed to:

✅ Providing hands-on training and real workplace experience in our café, bakery, and catering services.
✅ Supporting young people in developing essential life and employability skills.
✅ Creating an inclusive working environment where everyone can thrive.
✅ Working with schools, colleges, and employers to highlight the value of a diverse workforce.

Lois’s Success Story

A fantastic example of the impact of our work is Lois, our Foundation Apprentice in Business Management, who recently completed her qualification through Fly Cup Enterprises.

During her time with us, Lois gained valuable experience in stock control, business organisation, labelling and administrative duties, helping to support the smooth operation of our busy training and skills centre. She developed essential skills in business management, learning how different aspects of an organisation work together to create a successful enterprise.

Lois was a pleasure to have on the team—her enthusiasm, attention to detail, and willingness to learn made her a fantastic addition to Fly Cup. We are incredibly proud of all she has achieved and know she has a bright future ahead!

Looking to the Future

Our partnership with DYW North East means that Lois is just the beginning. We are excited to welcome more Foundation Apprentices in the future, continuing to provide young people with real-world business experience and the skills they need for successful careers.
